a little bit of everything
Our last full day in Scotland began on a misty morn, at the top of a lighthouse in the city. And without fail, over the radio of a passing car below, we heard the unmistakable strains of a bagpipe singing goodbye.
One thing I like about Jack is that he has a habit of getting up early, but he’ll let me sleep in. After a chilling night of Doctor Who though, we both stayed up and then ended up sleeping in.
On the last morning of our stay in Edinburgh, Jack and I had one last delicious breakfast at Budget Backpackers… … and upon boarding the train to Glasgow, soon found ourselves in the UNESCO City of Music. As we were staying in a hotel this time (Glasgow is unfortunately lacking in hostels), we dropped off…
My apologies, but the hiatus was unexpected for me, too.
We came down from the mountain thinking that we’d missed an opportunity to attend service in one of Scotland’s cathedrals, but then we took a random turn down a random street and somehow came across this. God works in fun ways.

London has a plethora of free museums, and most of them take more than a day to explore. The Natural History Museum is one such place.
…is the comparison I would like to make. However, knowing that dependent on the province, city, district, specific school that you’re in, things can be quite different. So perhaps a more specific (and unfortunately less catchy (and therefore not being used)) title is: Tom Baines and Sir Winston Churchill vs. The Warren. Or what I remember…
