I would like to put a plug in for Sterling and Sterling Castle during your Scotland stay. Or while you’re in the Highlands, Inchamahone (sp?) was my absolutly favoite place. It is the ruins of a monistary out in the middle of an island and very magical! Have fun and don’t scare the sheep, Jake.

Hello!
You should DEFINITELY try and visit Mont-Saint-Michel…it is freakin’ beautiful and an amazingly unique place. Worth the train fare.
And that region (Normandy) has very tasty calvados (alcoholic apple cidery stuff).

Hi guys!
I’m so glad you’re having a wonderous time! I expect pictures…and gifts. Chocolate sucks here – Molly, you know what to do.
Safe travels to you both. You are missed!
