Highlands Day 1 - Wednesday

Now you'll have to forgive me, but I will attempt to write about all that My father and I did during our 4 day trip around Scotland. I will try and put up pictures. Like this one:See. Arthur Conan Doyle. He's a writer. Short sentence.

Wednesday started early with a trip to the passport office in Glasgow. Map. I am enclosing a link to this map so you can follow our travels. Right click it and open it in a new window so you can switch between the map and the blog. Continuing. We were in and out of the passport office for Dad's passport renewal even before our appointed time. It was incredibly fast. Where are told to come back 4 hours later to pick it up. Imagine that.....a passport in 4 hours. We also recieved news that we would need my parents marriage certificate to get mine. That will take the normal 4-6 weeks and may require an interview. I breathe a sigh of rLinkelief as normalcy was achieved.

I have gained a new affection for a breakfast that rivals America's biscuits. (but not your's, Mom.) The Bacon Egg Roll. It's basically a piece of bacon, which is closer to country ham than our bacon and an egg. (thats a real egg too. they make it to order.) basically on a roll. Its delicious. I had my share during this trip. A true Scottish delicacy. I really like the food over here. There is nothing like a good pie (unless you serve it with Bovril, but that comes later.)

From La Sandwicherie, we went over to the Glasgow city centre where I got a new battery for my mac, which I am very excited about. My battery power went from 1.25 hours to 4 hours. anywho, that's not that interesting. Father and I had lunch at the Filling Station, an American restaurant. We were not impressed.

After that we were headed to Parkhead, Home of my Granny and the greatest football (soccer) team in all of Scotland. But first I must walk the dogs.

See ya soon.
