Ok, after all this time, I am sitting down to work at the computer and of course thinking of everything that needs to be done. Naturally, I think that I must post on the blog! Anyway. Maybe someday I can be a bit more regular on here. There isn't too much new happening here. So here is a little bit of our trip from months ago.
This pic and the next few were taken at Gerry's Hostel in the Highlands of Scotland. Bert and I love staying at hostels on our trips. They are all different. Because of the internet, we have good idea of how they look/work before we get there, which is great. Most of the time the bunk rooms are shared with about 10 others. There is a communal kitchen and living room/meeting area. There are also usually multiple washrooms and or shower rooms. We have always had pretty good experiences with them and it is a great way to meet new people and get to know the culture a bit better.
Gerry has a great variety of cutlery.
Even a few spices to share.
Toasties are always Bert's favorite.
A view over the sink.
By the dinning table.
The community room.
Gerry always has an awesome fire going.
A view from the bedroom window.
Bert picked up some peat on the Isle of Lewis. This whole bag of wet peat shrunk down to about the size of a box of Nerds after Bert dried it out by nuking in in the microwave.

You can't see it too well, but we pulled the car up on a hill/ramp thing to get a better view or Loch Marie on our way to Aultbea.
(another disclaimer: My spell check says that their are no mistakes. I don't believe it, but I wouldn't know what to fix either.)
