Castles & Cameras
I have returned from a weekend with the Three Tourists. I enjoyed myself and saw some damn cool sights. Isle of Skye is amazing (pictures to come). It was "interesting" travelling with these three. It gave a me a chance to get some perspective on a few things (most notably, how tourist traps stay in business).
Although I had a great weekend, I quickly grew tired of stopping every 5 minutes to allow ANOTHER picture of a sheep. OK, I realize that sheep are a Scottish icon but you only need 1 or 2 photos!! No one needs to look at every sheep to see "how cute they are" or pretend what a lamb might be "saying" to it's mother. I really cannot stand anthropomorphizing animals and giving them "voices" as if they think like humans. Sheep are all the same: fluffy and not too bright.
