“I DON’T WANT TO LOSE HEART!!!!! I want to believe… as he does…”
June 9, 2008
Anybody? Anybody? Oh, come on. This is probably my favorite movie quote of all time, and you can’t pick it out… so sad. Remember, in Braveheart, Robert the Bruce sells out William Wallace because of his father’s decisions and he is so angry he starts screaming at him. Wow. What a great scene.
And now, for me, it has all come to life.
Being in Edinburgh these past few days has shown me just how special of a place Scotland is. And now I understand why it was so important to Mel Gibson that he help to get his country’s freedom. What a guy, eh? I ended up spending a lot more time here than I thought I would, and for reasons I’m not entirely sure of. There is something about this place that is truly captivating. It is definitely very homely. And most of the Scots here you can understand. Sure they speak english in Scotland, but so do the people on the Dell Computers Hotline, and who can understand them?
But I really dont know what else to say about this place. Its been cool to see some historical stuff. I understand Braveheart a bit better now, although I wasnt able to make it out to the battle fields (another trip, right?). Edinburgh Castle is incredible, and you can see it from almost everywhere in the city, whcih is really cool. And I have about 14 million pictures of it, too. So hopefully a few of them will turn out well.
Hmmmm… what else do I say about Scotland. They have Scotch Whisky here… everywhere. I went on the Scotch Whisky Experience which teaches you about its history and stuff. That was really cool. But I guess thats about it for now. I’ll have to tell you all more about it when Im home, which is in olny two weeks. Can you believe it!?!?! I know I certainly can’t. But tonight I head to London, and then another night in Dublin, and then to DC for a night, and then Jamacia, and then RDU and Wilmington. Wow. Winding down. Mixed emotions.
Pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
