Aug 7 - Glencoe

Another looooong bus ride, getting up towards the highlands. I put on some Johhny Cash Live at Folsom Prison for this ride. I needed a change from some of the usual stuff I had been listening to. It was too monotonous, Johnny Cash never fails.

We walked up the lane to see the Massacre Monument for the 38 members of the MacDonald clan who were killed

We weren't in Glencoe very long, but long enough for Kerry to jump into the water and flop around a little bit


We walked back the road a little ways along the stream that cut through the back of the town. 

 It would have been cool to be able to stay longer and hike around some of the mountain trials in Glencoe, but we headed off to Oban to see some more sights.





 Oban is a gorgeous little port town we were able to wander around in for a few hours. We trekked up a street that had to be on a 90 degree incline to reach the "castle" at the top. There was a great view of the town and the water and ample grass for napping in the courtyard in the middle.

 Since it was so nice out that day, and we had about 2 hours to kill, the four of us parked it in the grass and actually got a little sunburnt at the top of that hill in the castle.
