Fun fun fun

         This is a lot, and messily. Are you ready?

Ok. So, this. (for the holiday L'escalade)

Turns into this when you smash it.
It's a fun holiday - look it up!

Fromages et Chocolats

So we went to a town called Gruyères

We visited a cheese factory and yes, there were samples. 

(I thought of you, Grant)

Then, we visited a chocolate factory and yes, there were samples, and even a chocolate themed playground.  Basically a dream come true.

Then again, samples might not be the right word.  I estimated that if one were to try each kind of chocolate in the tasting room only once, that would mean consuming at least twenty pieces of chocolate.  I asked myself, can we really eat this much chocolate in one sitting?  The answer was clear:

Twice.

Scotland

We gave up and decided to be shameless tourists

Scott Monument

National Museum of Scotland

Fulfilling lifelong dreams

Glasgow Cathedral

Duke of Wellington

...and we may have slept under the escalators
at the airport...

...but hey, we made it. And it was all worth it.

We were running a little late for the bus...

The Cliffs of Insanity

... but they will always be the Cliffs of Insanity

Technically known as the Cliffs the Moher...

  

To say it was beautiful and windy would be an understatement on both accounts

But really, I don't think you understand what windy means

To put it simply, it was absolutely inconceivable
