North Berwick.

We happened on a picture on google of a rock in the middle of the ocean. We thought it looked neat. It's location was conveniently a half hour from Edinburgh off the coastal town of North Berwick. It was called Bass Rock. Google it.

Because we thought the rock was so cool, we took a boat tour out to see it. There were waves. Puffins. Three momma seals and a baby seal. Millions of birds over head. And poop on Katie's head. (Highlight)

Bass Rock is a volcanic island home to a lighthouse, prison, and ruins of an old church building. Also home to a 150,000 white birds called gannets. Also home to 300,000 bird droppings. The sound and the smell was intoxicating. Inspite of the bird poop in hair, this really was our favorite part of the trip.

We took a stroll on the beach and Natalie collected her favorite souvenir of the trip, sea glass.

Our most shocking find on the beach...

Somewhere out there a grandpa is having trouble eating.

Two American girls flying by the seat of our pants, making our own plans, following our own schedule, is a good feeling. (Especially when you're both broke)

Our love to Scotland.
