Jetlag R Us and Train to Inverness

Zach and I spent most of yesterday jet lagged out of our minds - 9 hours on a plane overnight with no sleep... ick. We managed to see many of the key sights in London yesterday, but I don't know how much of it either of us will remember-- it all went by in a kind of fog :) We did get to tour Westminster Cathedral, and I am pleased to announce that my fellow American tourists were much better behaved than they were in 1984 when I was here last. I was MORTIFIED then to find hoards of Americans disgorging from their bus tours, then running around Westminster Cathedral gawking and yelling to each other like they were at the freakin' zoo or something. Much better this time, to my relief.

We finally got onto our sleeper train to Inverness around 8:30 last night, and neither one of us was awake for more than 5 minutes after that.... crash and burn in a big way. We both slept like rocks, and for the better.

Arrived at Inverness early this morning - it's a beautiful little city - an odd mix of old architecture and new that's a bit jarring at times, but interesting nonetheless. We stopped into the hostel to dump our backpacks and are walking around the city today to get oriented. Probably hike to Loch Ness tomorrow, which I'm really looking forward to!

This is us in the main shopping district of Inverness.
