I apologize for our lack of posting over the last week or so. We have had to pay for internet which means no time for blogging. So what have we been up to? Quickly (I am not editing this, so bear with me): Well, London was great! We saw an awesome terrifying show with top notch acting called The Woman In Black, along with a ballet/opera at the royal opera house called the Cocteau Voices (yes, you theatre historians, as in Jean Cocteau) with music by Scott Walker. It was phenominal. The second act was a one woman opera on a phone....it was the worst thing I have ever seen. People were leaving! We did all the touristy things and then met a man at a bar on a business trip who ended up buying our drinks while encouraging me to cheat on my girlfriend (not with him) because she was far away and I am young, claiming also that he was single while on business (ignorant of his wife and kids back home). Well...Thanks for the drinks, JP Morgan.
Edinburgh was phenominal. We stayed with Cameron, the Scot we met back in Bulgaria! It was just what I expected from Scotland (and really refreshing to see Cameron again, and meet his family!). People playing music around a table in bars, ghost tours (we took one), castles, water, scotch, cloudy skies. Even when the sun is set there, it never gets completely dark in the summer. Alternatively, in the winter, it barely gets light during the day! The Clan Duncan is from Scotland. I fit right in with everyone and their red beards! On our first night there we watched the sunrise from the top of a wall of a crumpled castle, while sharing a bottle of wine. It was perfect.
We then hopped over to glasgow, which was pretty much like every other city.
We are now in IRELAND! THE PLACE I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO!!! We are in Galway until tomorrow and then Cork, and then Dublin, and then home on the 10th.
We took a bus tour to the Cliffs of Moher today. It was just about the most beautiful piece of nature I have ever seen. I had to stop taking pictures because I have never felt more strongly that a picture just doesnt do it justice. Hopefully, I will blog again before the trip is over. Maybe I will actually post photos too, since I havent done that since before Amsterdam! Anyway, I could talk all day about our adventures, but instead I will go have more!
Cheers!
Brandon
