If I had a home

I found these super colourful prints on Etsy today and REALLY want one.  If only I had a permanent home to decorate, I would buy one.

Part One: West Highland Way

 I finally finished my dissertation! In celebration I went to Scotland (with Jonny) to do the West Highland Way. The West Highland Way is a 96 mile walk that passes through the Scottish rolling hills and mountains. You can stop in tiny towns along the way to sleep, eat, and drink! Here are pictures from the first half of the trip. We were suppose to do 20 miles a day, however that did not happen.

 We took an overnight sleeper bus into Glasgow.

 The start of the trail.

 A Scotsman.

 My pee tree.

 At mile 10 (about) and dying...

 The top of Conic Hill. It felt more like a huge mountain.

 View from the first hotel in Balmaha.

 On the ferry to the next town, Luss.

 The second town, Luss. This place was so pretty and had the best hotel I had ever stayed in. More pictures to follow.

 

“These too are of a burning color--not orange, not gold, but if pure gold were liquid and could raise a cream, that golden cream might be like the color of the poppies.” 

― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Its starting to feel like fall in London. It makes me want to be in warm blankets, watching movies, and eating popcorn. I cant wait to get done with writing my dissertation so I can watch films again. Here is a list of the ones I want to see so far:

This film because its french and has beautiful cinematography.

This film because who is not in love with Murakami?!? I have not read the book yet. I wont usually watch a book to film adaptation until I've read the book first, but I just cant wait.

And for obvious reasons, this one.

Missing home: mountains, snow, camping, mom's peach pie, Pablo's Coffee...
