Céilidh: (pronounced "KAY-LEE") A traditional Scottish dancing event, which involves live music (four fiddlers, in the case of Friday night) and dancing (similar to square dancing).
Our first night in Glasgow set the tone for the week-end! We went to a Céilidh for Martin's bday. By the end of the night, my lips were cracking, and my cheekbones were stiff from non-stop smiling. I knew it was going to be a good night, when we were getting ready to go out, and Martin said to Mike, "I may have another Kilt you could wear, if you like..." Of course, without question, we both answered emphatically YES!
Dram: Just a wee bit...as in, "a dram of Scottish whiskey"
We slept in till almost 2pm on Saturday, leaving us just barely over two hours of daylight...so we went for brunch. Claudia and Martin took us to a fabulous restaurant that served brunch till 4:30pm, which is totally the norm--love that! After brunch, the sun was setting, and we took a little roadtrip to Edinburgh. That night, we ended up sitting in Claud and Martin's apartment having little drams of various whiskeys. I learned a lot about whiskey that night...it was good talks with good people.
Harry Coo: Also known as a highland cow, these guys are just plain awesome and all over Scotland. I think the pictures will speak for themselves here...
I don't know how this happened, but it's almost 4am! Mike and I have been in London for under 48 hours. In two hours, we will walk to take a bus, then a train, and finally a plane to Egypt. We are shedding most of our stuff in London, to pick up when we come back through at the end of our trip. From here on out, it's one back pack each.
