Scotland Bound
Spending the week in Scotland. Drinking water and eating vegetables (or not). It's great traveling abroad, taking in the sights and sounds of a different culture. I find that exposure to new things while traveling always helps to spur ambition and creativity. Any recommendations for things to do while in these parts?
