Dance! Go crazy!

Have you heard of Dance Church? I read about it in the newspaper but I had already heard about it from Facebook. It's fun! Of course, it's like being gluten free, in these days of lockdown: you have to lower your standards (of fun or of tasty food). In my case, I am dancing by myself, trying to follow what the 3 young people are doing on the screen. Even at my age, I can pretty much keep up. There are over 2,000 people around the world dancing (we presume) with the man and two women. They are definitely not clothed for sexual titillation.  Though you can never assume anything when it comes to that!

It's exercise and it's dancing. They don't see you. Just go crazy! I am not crazy about the music but I am oldish. Is it called EDM? I'm not even sure. Anyway, it IS live, so it's not Youtube.

If you need a break from Jane Fonda aerobic videos on YouTube, try Dance Church! Or Ecstatic Dance, live from Facebook, where you can turn your video on. 

Donations are encouraged,  as always. Just like in a real church, but you don't have to pray!

Day 2 of hiking trip

Image
Today we went on a long hike in the ancient woods of Glen Finglas with views of Loch Venacher. We expected rain so all of wore rain pants but the rain didn't come until late afternoon.  We walked for less than an hour in Callandar. I bought hand cream at a pharmacy and tea at a café.  Then we walked to Achray Farm serving homemade ice cream and coffee. There were many goats on this woman's farm but only one let us get close to her. I had lavender & chocolate ice cream. The owner is a retired clinical psychologist! We then went to Doune Castle,  made famous by Outlander and Monty Python,  but we were disappointed to hear they were closed for the day. We walked around the castle and the class clown knocked on the main door and almost fell down when a workman came out.  Group pic without Pauline and almost without me: Me, Gaelle, Stephanie (U.S.), Tess (Australia), Alistair (England), Stefan (Netherlands), Tate (Tess' brother, Australia)

First impressions

Image
I am here in Edinburgh as of an hour ago but I am exhausted,  having hardly slept in my aisle seat.  First impressions of this busy neighborhood near Sue from 5W: it's windy, cloudy, people are pretty friendly, don't order Mexican food (huevos rancheros at Heathrow was weird, with raw red onion), the Airlink was easy and luggage racks plentiful (versus our light rail that has space for 2 suitcases). There was a plastic container with cherry pits but generally I haven't seen much litter or graffiti after my half hour bus ride! I was worried because I hadn't made proper arrangements with Sue but then she emailed me (and hadn't seen my text nor email a half hour before I got hers!). I was even looking at cheap hotels. My eyes hurt and I'm wearing my glasses.

Money, money, money!

My head is spinning at how expensive everything is in Scotland (okay, I'm not there yet and buses and museums will probably be very cheap)! A private room in a "youth" hostel is $75/night! A hotel room is costing me $161 to $175! Divided by 2 people is not bad but for a solo traveler, it is very costly indeed.  Maybe I won't be eating out more than once every two or three days! A scone and tea for dinner? But it's not just me experiencing the solo traveler syndrome!
