Highlands and Islands!

---

Finding work in Glasgow seemed like too difficult of a task so I just hung about for a week in a rad hostel called North Lodge Hostel (highly recommended if you don't mind dirty hostels with no nice decor). I still really like Glasgow and am a little sad that I didn't originally go there instead of Edinburgh. Speaking of Edinburgh, I visited the place a week ago and saw all my old hostel friends and caught up. Good times :D

On Monday I went up to the Isle of Skye for a few nights. It was gorgeous (as was the busride there)! I went hiking around the mountains. I nearly cried it was so beautiful! It's the kind of place that you can't really understand at all by the pictures. You have to be there to feel it and breathe in the beauty along with the sea air. I think that have a thing for mountains and the sea. Kinda reminds me of home.

So now I'm in Oban, a quaint seaside town on the west coast of Scotland. I haven't exactly figured out if it counts as the highlands or not. I'm a cleaner in a hostel here for the next three weeks before I go to Spain. It's really good to be able to rest a little and feel like I have a home. I went out and bought a whole bunch of groceries and it felt great to know I get to cook and eat well (it's weird the things I miss are things like kitchens). I've decided I need to go on a bikini diet so that I look hot (and unfortunately, very pale) in the Spanish sun! I can explore things around Oban as well and I'm so happy to be here!! Yea! Wee! Ok, I'm done.
