Too Much Happening!

Hi there, Austin doing a quick update.  Wow, we have been lagging once again on the blog front, it has been an enormously packed few weeks, and time and energy to update have not been there.  Needless to say, we want to keep the stories and experiences coming, so here is a taste what's happened (more to come when we arrive at our WWOOFing location in the Pyrenees of France next week).  We left Baldarroch in Scotland, which was full of fun and community filled experiences with our hosts and fellow WWOOFers.  So sad to leave :(  After leaving, we got what would be the beginning of a few pricy car repairs done to keep the Multipla up and running (it had tire issues, wheel bearing issues, suspension issues, more on that later).  Following that, we jetted out to Western Scotland which was soooo beautiful!  I was so sad to only spend a few days there, I feel like I could live there.  It is Alaska meets Yellowstone National Park; an epic place of snow capped mountains and great hikes.

Following this, we did a whirlwind of family research in the Perth area, then went to Edinburgh and stayed for three days.  This time was too spent exploring the McRobbie name heritage; during which we discovered one of my relatives may have murdered her baby child!  From Edinburgh, we braved snowy roads to London, where we stayed with our friend James and his wife, Natalie.  We met James in the Canadian rockies on a frigidly cold yet beautiful backpacking adventure, and given James' warm, candid demeanor we hit it off.  During our stay, we walked around London and saw Les Miserables the theater production, which was so so amazing!   I would love to give more detail on this and other parts of our trip, but the cafe we are at in this mall is apparently closing and we need to leave :(  So, basically, we left London, went to France, to Paris, went through some miracous times with God and with our relationship, and are happy and ready to drive south through the French countryside!  A bientot!
