For a little over a week in July our older boys went on a trip. They went to Iceland on a 3 day adventure tour which included ice climbing on a glacier, white water rafting, seeing many waterfalls and thermal areas with gysers and hot spring and whale watching. It was quite a tour!! They stayed in a hostel in reykjavik. It was amazing and wonderful and exciting and they were very hungry. The food there was quite expensive as it turns out...

| Backpacking in Edinburgh |
But then they hopped a flight and landed in Edinburgh, Scotland and then they ATE. Good food cheap is what we first heard from the boys. Our oldest was a very happy man indeed. He loved the culture, the humor of the people, the whiskey, the landscape, the buildings and did I say the food? Even the haggis. Our middle son really appreciated the same things but also the history, having just completed his BA in history this year...it was amazing to go to the museums, ruins, lochs, distillery, islands and the different hostels on their bus trip around Scotland.
