Exactly! The funny thing is (funny peculiar, not funny haha) that a lot of people seem to think us Americans are not that hot at the old geography business. I think that a bit unfair 'cos by the time we've memorized the names of all 44 states, we're pretty well worn out.

I thought we had 57 states?

The landscapes were incredible, especially when the mist covered the mountains.

There are some lovely mylonites at siccar point too.

Is quite a nice book giving quite an accessible (i.e. not overly academic) overview of the geological evolution of scotland...

Didnt get to see the mylonites at Siccar Point...didnt even know they were there!  I think that the mylonites we saw were associated with the Moine thrust, but I cant recall the area where we saw them.

Frethack,

Did you climb up the Old Man of Stoor, too?

LOL...I would fall to my death...hehehe.  My wife threatens to clothe me in bubble wrap, Im so clumsy.
