Description of a kilt
A kilt is this skirt-like thing that goes down to the bottom of your knee and its plaid, and yes men wear it, in fact its what the ancient scottish soldiers wore in battle

Again, you guys missed a lot
When i stopped blogging last time i was in Liecaster, england which is by Nottingham. So after that we had to drive for like six hours to get to Scotland. word of advice, if you dont like the doom and gloom weather, dont go to Scotland, the minute we got into scotland it rained for an hour then was foggy the rest of the night. That was on saturday, on sunday we had to drive two hours up to Aberdeen (we were staying in between Edinburgh and Glasgow) for church. Try driving in chrch clothes for two hours, not fun. Then after church we got a tour of Aberdeen by my Uncles father who im kinda related to in a weird way, well that was cool, then we had to drive for another two hours to get back. Alot of driving, Ughhhhhh. On Monday we went to Edinburgh and took a tour of that for like two hours. Yes people i did get a kilt and its AWESOME. I also got this cool british hat. So we pretty much spent all day in Edinburgh. On tuesday morning we went to Glasgow and drove around (not as fun as Edinburgh, but so what) then drove for who knows how long to get to Blackpool and drove around there (if you want candy go there on pretty much every corner they have candy shops), then we drove to liverpool home of the Beatles and stayed the night there. Now today, we drove some more and are right now in the middle of Wales in a restaurant in the middle of nowhere.

You guys Missed a LOT
Sorry people, we couldnt get internet access because it was like seven bucks an hour. so im in leicaster which is in northern england. in london its kinda backwards the scary part of town is uptown not downtown and all the cool stuff is downtown. yes their telephone booths are these giant red boxes. We stayed at the Hilton Waldorf which wasnt as fancy (no complaints here) as the hotel we were in at france. In france we did see the Eiffel Tower which is soo huge that if we took a picture of it with me under it you wouldnt see me, plus there was a huge mob of people in line to go to the top ( which i did not want to do personnally). Then when we left Paris We drove for like five hours to go to Normandy. we didnt get to see the bridge cause if we did we would have misssed the chunnel. so we had to drive for another three hours to get to the chunnel. on the chunnel it takes about half an hour to get from france to england. so when we got to england we drove for another three hours (UGGGGHHHH) to get to london where we stayed for the day and saw big ben (not so big when compared with the eiffel tower. The london eye which is the largest ferris wheel in the world ( its like five hundred feet tall.) No i didnt go on it but my grandpa did. we also saw the parliament building which looks like a giant palace. then we took a double decker bus to somewhere and walked to the Buckingham palace where we saw the changing of the guards which i did not expect and the funny part is the guard band played YMCA and half the people there were dancing ( which means about five hundred THOUSAND.) then we walked about two miles to a restaurant where we ate fish and chips (soooooo good.) We went back to the hotel packed our bags for five hours to get to Leicaster to stay the night and here i am.

Josh is in France
He texted me today saying he saw the Tour d' France. It was awesome. He can't get internet connection where he is at because it is EXPENSIVE. Hopefully we will all get an update on Thursday with some pictures. I think they are staying where there is free wi-fi access. If not I will update you all with any info I get. BTW DO NOT TEXT him. It is expensive and I told him if I found out his friends were texting him while he was over there, he would get his phone taken away until he was 16. You don't want that do you??
