Yesterday we had a driver take us to the Dewer's distillery in Aberfeldy. J.K. Rowling has a house there as well and soon will be coming out with a book geared toward adults.
Anyway - we took a distillery tour and learned all about how Dewer's scotch is made. No pictures inside the actual distillery. They don't want us stealing their secrets. Of course there was a sampling at the end. I have to post those pictures later because they were taken with a real camera and not my iPhone, so I can't upload them to the internet while on vacation.
After our Derwers experience we had a nice lunch and then went to see the Sterling Castle. The countryside and the castle were so beautiful.
Only disappointment of the day was that I did not see a Highlands Cow. One of the long hair shaggy cows.
See pictures below. Again, I apologize if they are out of order. The only picture from the distillery is obvious. The rest are from the castle.

Day #122: A Day in Edinburgh
1st day in Edinburgh. We toured the town on a hop on/off bus and then Sarah and I went on a hike.
We did not go into the castle today, because we are waiting for my cousin Jared to joing us.
Here are a few pics from today. They are not in any order because I don't know how to choose the order when posting from my iPad/iPhone.
The building is the royal physicians college.

Day #117: Spot the Leaf
Not sure if you remember or not, but the LEAF is the all electric car by Nissan.
Last year, my Dad and I test drove one. It's pretty awesome.
I can't yet afford one (trust me I checked just the other day after I shelled out $800 to get a few things fixed on my car) and there is a waiting list.
It's a new game of mine to spot as the leaf's as I can, see previous post Day #56.
So, I try to take a picture or have my passenger take a picture whenever possible and text it to my Dad to annoy him when leaf spotting :)
There are actually a fair number of leafs in Tucson. I also probably see the same few repeatedly :)
I'm pretty sure there is a blue one that lives semi-near me.
Whomever owns the car likes to shop at Trader Joes and Sunflower Market - just like me :)
So....here's the game. Can you spot the leaf?
It gets harder as you go...
