Destination: Loch Ness. Our goal: capturing--with camera or net--the infamous Loch Ness monster. We set out early Monday morning on a tiny tour bus driven by a twenty-something competent bus driver who told us the history and played us the songs of the Highlands. The stories of Robbie Burns and William Wallace and the bloody fight against the bloody English were quite interesting. It made Jesse and I want to watch Braveheart again, even though the driver did point out several discrepancies in the movie. But hey! That's Hollywood for you. Anyways, we stopped in Fort Augustus for lunch and Jesse--being Jesse--decided that he had to dip a toe into Loch Ness. While Jesse and I put different phalanges into Loch Ness with a very cold Vanessa looking on, Jamie was taking a boat trip around Loch Ness hunting for Ol' Nessy. Unfortunately the famed monster was nowhere to be seen that day, but it gave us just one more reason to go back to the bonnie Highlands of Scotland.
