well, i'm in glasgow. tasha, you are, and usually are, right. its beautiful!

tomorrow, sarah and i have planned a nice scenic run through the botanical gardens. we scoped it out today and were pleasantly surprised to find a book fair. okay, mom and i were pleasantly surprised, grammy and sarah i don't think really felt too strongly one way or another.

the hotel we are staying at happens to have free internet, but, the keyboard is a little wonky and, so growing more and more frustrated, i am going to keep this short and to the point.

i wish i could add some photos because then i could just add those and they'd speak for themselves. and i wouldn't have to type. well, it'll have to wait. soon, maybe.

things i learned today:
  1. ipod chargers have a built in converter, so yay, we can charge them!
  2. not all english people are polite, nor do they know how to respect "reserved seats." you'd think mom had asked him for his, his...his something really valuable.
  3. scottish fare is not always haggis and meat pies. sometimes it is incredibly varied, and delicious, indian, morroccan, french, etc. food, all locally grown. (we asked for a typical scottish restaurant and that was the recommendation)
  4. i am glad i bought a rechargeable battery with my camera...sarah's going through 'em like a hot knife through butter.
  5. condos, in what used to be a hospital (the one in which grammy was born) go for about $700 000. i bought two.

Yikes, I found your blog by searching for toronto runners, and come across a FIS student! I'm currently a librarian working in Oshawa, but graduated from FIS about two years ago now. I worked at the Inforum with Joe and Nadia et al for two years!
Anyway, just thought I'd say "What a small world!" : )
