Morning all.
Off to Fort William and the Highlands today.
Last night we went out to the pubs, chatted up the local lads- see we're even talking like Scots now!- only to find out they were either German or from south of the border- English, and only here for the British Open.....or as they say here- the Open, as apparently there is only one. Last night I was debating the difference between baseball and cricket, and football and soccer. Since I don't know much about any of them it was just nice to sit and listen to the accent in my Guinness-fogged brain. Never liked Guinness- I'm a Coors Light girl- but when here trying new things. The first Guinness was a bit bitter, but the second pint was quite good.
