First day of spring break, and what have I done? Gone in to Madrid to teach for a few hours...by teaching I mean talking for 2 hours with a 13-year old in English about diseases, cars, and vacation plans. After I came back I ate some half-burnt pizza, some good fish from Angelita, shoved some things in my backpack, and headed with Tamy to Isma's house in Guadalajara. Not Guadalajara, Mexico. Tomorrow starts the good part: 4:45 AM departure to the airport, arriving in London for a layover and then to...
Yep, Scotland. The home of the Dad's family the Campbells (mmm...good soup) and Mom's family the Lindsays (who helped the Bruce and William Wallace). I'm so excited! Isma, his cousin Marcos, a friend Ricardo and I are going to be there from this Saturday until the following Saturday, staying in the town of Newtonmore. We're going to Inverness, Edinburgh, Isle of Skye, Inveraray (home of Campbells), the Cairngorms, Loch Ness, and to visit some castles enroute most places. We'll try the food (which I've heard is bad), I'll soak in the wonderful accent, and try not to get too wet. I'll let you know more later!

Sounds like a ton of fun. Hope your travel companions are good companions ie you don't get too much on each others nerves as the week progresses. A nice walk in the Scotland landscape should help rejuvenate you all, and maybe leave you regretting the return to Spain. Do not forget the pictures!!Love, Mom
