Driving to Tongue

I know, I have been a truly terrible photoblogger lately.

Road to Tongue, Scotland

I took this picture last summer on my trip to visit my friends in Scotland. We drove all the way up to the northern coast and visited the tiny town of Tongue. As you can see, there's not much for miles around. It's so small that the postal van doubles as a bus, and so far north that it never got totally dark. We did a great little hike up to Castle Varich and enjoyed the view, hiked out to a puffin-viewing spot, and visited Smoo Cave.

I disappeared! And now I am back!

Here's where I went:

Scotland (Castle Varich near Tongue)

Northern Ireland (peace murals in Derry-Londonderry)

More to come...sporadically, because I'm moving house and then going to Yosemite. Looks like Blogger learned a few new tricks while I was gone, too...
