It's been quite a while since I posted last, so I figured I would update everyone on my latest adventures! So last weekend Ian and I went up to a place called Loch Lomond (Loch here is the word for Lake) and spent the night in this i
ncredible little beach house right on the water. The picture above was the view from right outside our door. On Sunday we also went to the village of Luss, which was just lovely. The entire village consisted of a coffee shop, church, a wee grocery store, and a couple little shops, along with a few cottages along the shore. It was about 3 miles down the coast of the Loch from where we stayed the night before, and the little church with the oldest semetary I've ever seen. There was one gravestone that was dated 1612! I took some pictures and this one ended up looking really neat. I will definately have to go back! Then we headed back to Edinburgh for the usual Sunday dinner with the Grannies. Monday and Tuesday were school holidays so I was able to spend some extra time in Glasgow, which was really great!The weather has been really mild this week, which has been great! The past 2 weeks w
e have gotten lots of snow (London got the most snow it's had in 18 years!) and Carra and I build a snowman in the back yard! She said she had never built a "proper" snowman before, so I was proud of my Colroado roots, and showed her how it was done. People have been laughing at the fact that we ran out of salt/sand for the roads so we have been borrowing from Spain :)So there's this website called Couch Surfing that is basically an online comunity of almost a million people all over the world who love to travel, and either have a couch to offer someone who needs a place to stay, or are currently traveling and looking for a couch. The site is www.couchsurfing.org if you want to check it out. Well anyway, the CS community in Edinburgh has about 1400 people and has events going on almost every weekend. I met a girl named Meagan through CS, who actually grew up in Parker, CO, and we're going to a ricidulous themed party tomorrow night. The theme is Favorite Childhood TV Shows and everyone is sending in clips from their favorite shows growing up (from all over the world) and we are going to watch them all together. I found a clip from one of my old favorites, and looking at it now, I wonder if maybe this is why I am 22 years old and still find myself doing handstands in the kitchen sometimes.

Alright, well this post is getting pretty long. I am going to Stockholm, Sweden next weekend for a short get away with Ian and some friends, so I'll be sure to post an update when I get back from that!
Cheers!
