Cheerleaders in Scotland August 25, 2008

This weekend I went up to Scotland with my friend Danielle. I took the train to meet Danielle in Milton Keynes- where she lives- and then we drove up to East Kilbride with her dad. I hadn’t done this drive in a really long time, but I promise you that boring endless highway looks exactly the same in any continent. There are some lovely views in Scotland, especially of the hills, but by the time we hit Scotland it was dark. So no lovely lush, green, hilly pictures for you. But I did manage to snap a couple of pictures of the beautiful sunset.

I basically spent my weekend being a lazy bum, eating everything put in front of me and then promptly falling asleep. I did go up to the town centre in East Kilbride on Sunday to see Danielle’s cousin and daughter perform with their cheerleading troop. Who would have thought that I would travel so far from Texas only to be faced with cheerleading performances. It was interesting, and a valiant effort. Though still a teeny bit ridiculous.

Catch Up July 12, 2008

I’ve been an awful blogger the last week, and have not been keeping you abreast of my adventures. So here is a brief summary. I went to Scotland to visit my Grandpa this past weekend, and it was nice. It was rainy and cold the whole time, but that’s to be expected. I’ve included a picture of what it looked like outside the whole time I was there. People in America have a misconception that Scotland is a lovely, lush utopia. Take a look at the picture. Not quite the same. But we were able to make it out to eat some delicious food, and also the Kelvingrove museum. I went there at Christmas time, but wasn’t able to see everything I wanted to. This was a great chance to catch some of the stuff I missed.

After I got back from Scotland, I picked up Jonathan from the airport. Yippee!!!! He’ll be here for about 9 days, so we’ll have plenty of time to paint the town red. So far he’s just been wondering around to various places, but above you can see that he has been reunited with Peaches. Aw.

One exciting thing we have done is to see Avenue Q. Amazingly funny, I pretty much cracked up the whole time. It’s an adult puppet show which has been playing in New York for some time. Hi-la-rious. I like anything with a puppet in it called Lucy the Slut.
