If it’s not Scottish…It’s Crap!
Friday, October 6th, 2006Greetings from Scotland. I’d have to tell you that this past week in Scotland was a nice break and gave me the ability to catch up on a little sleep and rediscover the magical world of television. I’m staying with my friend Kevin who I met back in the states about 7 years ago working at a summer camp. Since we last saw each other Kevin has now a beautiful wife and is a dad to two young lads. Lucas, his oldest son at about 2 and a half is getting potty trained. They have a little potty in the living room and when he needs to go he tells them and they sit him right down to do his business. I suggested we all get potty’s so that we can drop turds at the same time but we then agree it would not be the best idea. His youngest Calad is only 6 months but he spends his days sleeping, screaming about nothing or crying because he’s hungry, what a life. Kevin owns a house in a small community just south of Aberdeen called Cove Bay. I forgot how nice it was to be in a house with a kitchen, water pressure, hot water, and satellite television. I’ve honestly spent the week watching, Everybody Love Raymond, Scrubs, Frasier, Cheers and any descent movie that is on. Isn’t that exciting? I will admit the week has been nice but i’m now getting the itch to go and do some things or someone…did i really just say that?
I will most likely be in Scotland for another week and a half. I’m next heading down to Manchester England to visit a few folks i’ve met along the way before finishing off the month down in London. Now I need your help. I’m going to give you all the opportunity to live vicariously through me for the next two months, or at least until my trip ends sometime in December.
I need a little help on where exactly to go in Europe. It’s quite a huge place with tons of different countries. Where would you go? What would you do? Perhaps I could brush up on my spanish and run with the bulls in Pamplona? How about climbing the Eifel Tower and spending my days wandering around Paris? I could sail the Greek Isles? I could go to Euro Disney…please don’t anyone suggest that one, it was a joke. What about tasting every beer possible that Germany has to offer? Maybe drinking a bottle of fine italian wine while sitting on a Gondola in Venice? I want to hear from you. Keep in mind i’m still on a budget but due to the cheap flights around Europe I can pretty much go anywhere I want, whenever I want so i’d love to have your input and hopefully make a decision in the next week or so. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
