8 free minutes

i have 8 free internet minutes left on this library computer. what can I write in 15 minutes.

i've been in the highlands for a week or two now, first Fort William where I climbed halfway up the highest mountain (in the UK?) Ben Nevis. Gorgeous, and I was impressed with myself since I really only set out for the base.
The hostel there was cool and I chatted with an amusingly flirtatious Texan. Imagine someone saying this to you in a heavy heavy Texas accent:
"hey...y'all are kinda cross-eyed....hey that's kind of cute..."
Awwww.

Then Loch Ness where I do have to admit I was hoping to yes, see the monster. Maybe I would be lucky! Happy that other people have since admitted the same ambition to me, I feel less stupid. Needless to say I did not see the Loch Ness Monster. There was a promising rise in the water at one point but it was just a wave.

Then up to Carbisdale Castle which is rumoured to be haunted and is now a giant youth hostel. I didn't see any ghosts though something or someone blew on my leg one night as I was trying to go to sleep. That couldn't have been a dream, could it?
The castle environment was strange...on my last night I walked up into the ballroom to see an old man squeezing out Auld Lang Syne on an accordian (which of course makes one think of Raju) and a couple of scottish girls teaching german teenagers how to highland dance. Imagine an enormous blond german boy wearing a kilt and spinning around and you'll get the idea.

3 minutes left.
currently in Inverness, been here for three days and it's nice but I'm headed for Ullapool and then the Outer Hebrides in about 2 hours.

Must go, sorry about the lack of photos (it is really stunning here too) but it is too too expensive to upload.
