Do I have your attention now? Apparently my top visited blog post is the one titled "The men here are beautiful." So I am going to stick with what's popular and mention beautiful/hot/dreamy/-insert adjective of choice here- men at least once in each post. You're welcome. Top 10 Reasons Why I Like Scotland More Than England: 10) They have real, normal water available rather than the gross sparkling water that is sold in England. 9) When giving directions, people actually give you correct time estimates.

I sent a lot of my little trinkets home ... read more
