Highland Coo!!

Today we made gingerbread houses. Here they only make gingerbread people. We had enough dough to make 2 houses, one for us and one for Nevisport.

Last week we took a trip to Inverness, which is about 2hrs northeast of here. It is called the "capital of the Highlands." We found a pub that was hosting a ceileidh(pronounced kaelea) in the lower level and a reggae night upstairs. Then we went to another pub that had a traditional 3 piece band, drums, guitar, and pipes. Heather ended up singing some Canadian music at the end of the night. From there we went to see the Culloden Battlefield, where a lot of people died in under an hour. For more info use your technological skills and look it up. We then went to the Clava Cairns. They are ancient burial chambers (3 or 4 thousand years old) that are all built to line up with the sunset at winter solstice. We had great timing as we were there at sunset and we're close enough to the winter solstice so it looked great.

Everyone's Christmas presents have been posted!!!
Looking forward to Christmas, we are going to spend it with some new friends of ours who took over a local hostel as managers when Simon and Tash went home.
