Catwonsports: Harris Tweed, rain, and communal sleeping

This third time to Scotland has been fun and much different than the other visits. We have taken a 7 day tour to the the island of Skye(home of Talisker whisky) and the outer Hebrides Islands of Harris, home of Harris tweed, and to Lewis. Lewis is north of Harris by one strip of land.

The trip was intended for young (18-35) independent travelers. Compared to my 94 year old step-mother, we consider ourselves young. The group was failry young as most people were in their 20s to early 30s. We spotted an older guy and felt very pealsed. Turns out he is one year yonger than I am. We stayed in youth hostels. My first time and was decidely against them prior to the trip. I survivbed them, but it is not my most favorite thing. Still, I am glad to have had the opportunity to try them.

On the 10th, we tuned in to the BBC international news to discover that travel has been raised to a red alert. We are not looking forward to the long trip home with noo books or reading matertial. But, better a safe trip home, than not getting back to the kitties.
