How's it gong?

So today was an adventure!

First I went to church and was the only person other than the baptism family who didn't have grey or white hair. So we'll see how that goes.Then Dan & I headed to Glencoe to do some hiking. We didn't make it to our original destination but we found a geocache and other cool things instead. So a note on Highland towns: they are named some combination of Glen, Inver, Nevis, Loch, Coe, and Kin. Like Glencoe, Inverlochy, Invercoe, Kinlocheil, or Inverroy.

We got off the bus in Glencoe and decided to look for a geocache since it was nearby. Since we don't know the trails in the area yet, we just took the first footpath that we found going in the right direction. We hiked through a beautiful forest, and up a hill covered in heather and then back down the hill into the forest again... only to find a really simple, flat, footpath that led straight to the cache. However, it was well worth the amazing views we had from the hike. We were very happy to enjoy SUNSHINE on the hills, even though it rained a few times.

After that we decided to walk to some town that we can't pronounce, Ballachulsh, because that's where the tourist information centre is. We were trying to find the trail to a place we had read about on the internet called the lost valley. The walk ended up being quite long and the tourist info centre was just brochures and gifts, no helpful people like in Fort William. There turned out to be an old, abandonded slate quarry right across the road from the centre. It was really fun to explore, there were millions of little pieces of slate everywhere and some massive rocks that had fallen from the cliffs. When we were done exploring the quarry we took an earlier bus home as we were getting hungry and it started to get cold.

Tomorrow is my first day of work - yay.

Oh, we went to the local pubs friday. We found this crazy downstairs place thats at the original historical street level, and there was this crazy door that is heather-sized.
