Skye

It's taken me a while to write about Skye because I'm not really sure what to say about it.  It was really one of those weekends where you just had to be there.  That's for two reasons.  The first is because it was so beautiful I really don't know how to describe it; except maybe green.  The other reason is because of our insane tour guide.  I can't really tell a lot of the stories he did because my parents and grandparents are reading this blog but here is one I think that I can tell that illustrates my point.  (Before I tell this story, I should just point out that the tour consisted of 16 women mostly in their early 20's and our insane tour guide Danny.)

We went to visit Hamish and we were feeding him carrots and things.  Let me just say that Hamish is a bit slobbery.  When we all got back on the bus, Danny said to us, "I hope you all washed your hands.  I only say this because I have this friend who got really sick.  He went to the doctor and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.  The doctor kept asking him if he works with cattle and said no.  In fact, the only cow he'd been around was Hamish.  When he gone to visit Hamish, he though it would be funny to feed him from his mouth.  He stuck the food in his mouth and let Hamish take it.  The doctor said, 'Oh, that makes sense.  You have cow herpes.'"  Yeah, the whole weekend had stories like that.

So, on Friday, we went up to Skye.  It took all day to get there because we kept stopping to look at things which was cool.  We saw the loch that is in the shape of Scotland and the castle where they filmed Maid of Honor.

On Saturday, we spent to whole day on Skye touring around and looking at things.  We went to this really pretty pond with a waterfall and on a long walk through the hills.  We went a boat ride that night, which was really cool, (we caught and ate fresh scallops) but we ended up getting back late so when we finally got back, it was like 9:30 at night.  There was a woman from India on the trip and she made us curry.  It was fantastic even though we didn't actually get to eat it untill 11 at night.

Sunday was the drive back with lots more stops.  One of the prettiest places was the last place we stopped.  There was a waterfall in a pine forest that was absolutely beautiful.  It had this house thing next to it.  There is a story there but I might right it down later.  I'm kinda tired right now, so I'm going to slap so pictures on here and call it good.
