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…

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…

Scotland Day 3 – The Road Up North
We started our day off with a hearty English breakfast at the B&B. I think it was the first time I’ve had beans for breakfast. We loaded our bags into our little Hyundai i10 and headed off. The road north was quiet, switching from double to single lane highways. I was finally getting the hang…

Scotland Day 2 – The City of Stirling
We rose at a decent time. The decision had been made for me to walk over to the car rental place while Jess and Krista packed up the room. It was about a 3.5 mile journey. The sun was jus rising as I hit Princes Street, walking down the cobble stone. I grabbed a cup…

Scotland Day 1 – The Arrival
As I get older, I like my sleep more and more, and can’t function without it. We were fortunate to get a direct flight from Newark to Edinburgh. It was a night flight, so we could be efficient on time, sleeping on the plane and arriving at 7am local time. I slept for about half…

NYC Day 4 – The Final Tour
We started out our last day in New York early. We had tickets for a Liberty and Ellis island tour and were advised to come early. We a cafe to have a bite and take in some views of New York that we had yet to encounter. From the cafe, we had a great view…

NYC Day 3 – The Run
The day started early. Jess had to get to the Staten Island ferry to catch a ride to the marathon start. Krista and I rode with her on the subway to her last stop. After saying our goodbye and good luck, Krista and I continued on the line up into downtown Manhattan. We revisited many…

NYC Day 2 – The Walk
Krista would be coming later in the day, so got up and headed for our first task of the day, coffee. One of the things I resolved to do on this trip was to spend quality time with a mug/cup of coffee in hand and good company by my side each day. With aid of Yelp,…
