Edinburgh – The Beginning
Brent told you most of the story or at least a rundown of each day in Scotland. I’ll just share my photos and maybe a thought or two. I loved the old city, the colorful buildings and the cobblestone streets. It was a cloudy day, but we made the most of it. Must love coffee…

NYC Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island
We woke up early on our last day in New York City. We made our way down to battery park where we would set off on a quick fairy ride over to the Statue of Liberty island and Ellis Island. I didn’t think that I would actually like seeing the Statue of Liberty so close,…

NYC Tall Buildings
Tall Buildings: There are a lot of these in the world and none in Montana. Some people have never seen mountains or anything in nature that is tall. I have grown up in the mountains and have loved looking out my window to see these beauties. I have also had the opportunity to see the…

Vacuum Coffee
So, what do you do with a day at home, a new coffee apperatus and a desire to be creative? In my case, I chose to make a video. Now this wasn’t a how-to, just a fun video to show the process of the Pebo vacuum coffee maker by Bodum. Vacuum Coffee Maker You first…

NYC Farmer’s Market
You can miss out on so many things by taking the subway in New York City. Like this farmer’s market we stubbled upon as we made our way up towards Times Square. We took off on Saturday morning on foot hoping to find a near by coffee shop. Most things were still closed even though…

NYC Sights
There are so many sights to see in NYC. Where do you begin? A nice long walk is a good place to start. We came across buildings and parks that we didn’t even think of seeing. We came across areas that we would have missed while riding underground on the subway. There are so many…

New York City Lights
Now we didn’t spend much time taking picture at night, but that is because we didn’t bring a tripod nor did we feel up to it. We had some pretty long days in New York with walking 14 miles on Saturday, then my marathon on Sunday and about an 11 mile walk on Monday before…

NYC/Scotland – The Return Home
We got back on that double decker bus one more time, to return to the airport, to return home. We had a long day ahead of us. It was sad to be at the end of such a wonderful trip, but we left without regret on the time spent. From the window outside our terminal,…

Scotland Day 6 – The Holyrood Walk
The car had to be returned by 10 am, so we had a relaxing morning in our little attic apartment atop the spiral stair. The living room had a large bookshelf with a wide assortment of books, so we spent some time looking at the selection. We had plenty of time, so we ventured out…

Scotland Day 5 – St. Andrews
We left from Grantown just after sunrise and headed south to St. Andrews. It was a wet day, which made the greenery even more pronounced. Being more relaxed while driving, I was able to enjoy the scenery even more. We arrived in St. Andrews late morning and set off to find a place for lunch.…

Scotland Day 4 – Loch Ness
We had one more castle on our pass, and that was Urquhart Castle on the shore of Loch Ness. The first two castles were restoration projects, time capsules of an era long gone. This castle was nothing like that, it was in ruins, left to show the effect of time on its battered walls. The…
