So I spent my weekend in the beautiful countryside of Scotland! I went with a host family who took me in and fed and cared for me! Twas a wonderful or shall I say lovely way to spend my Thanksgiving weekend. Aside from the slightly drizzly weather we had some nice walks through the woods and by the water. Not as much of a photo weekend as I’d like for it to be, don’t get me wrong, I shot. I shot alot… but they were more of the family hanging out and being a family. I want to one day come back and follow the father around. He’s had the farm in his family since the 1940’s (if I remember correctly). He grows potatoes and barley. Owns hundreds of cows and sheep. I tried petting the calves but they backed away from me. Tried taking pictures of the sheep but they were meters away from me. Ate haggis! I actually liked it! Didja know the boys wear kilts to the village social? Its as a suit is to a man in our society! I found that fascinating! And another didja know that they don’t have cliques like we do in high school. People are just people… no distinction of nerd, athletic, band, drama or anything of the such. Lots more to tell… but this is a photo blog! I have some pictures of the kids… but I don’t know if its a good idea to put minors up… so I guess I’m sticking to the safe side for now… oh and I tried taking family portraits… man the 3 younger kids are squirmy and really didn’t want to sit still for very long!
