Wet cows

Jump ahead: Graz and I are touring the hinterlands of Scotland in a rental car. On the Isle of Skye, in the pouring rain, we set out determined to go for a walk in an interesting place.

After careful research and analysis at the local wildlife centre, where Graz asks the nice lady to direct us to the nearest amazing seal watching location, we head out in the car in the more modest hopes of perhaps seeing a seabird or two.

Our plan: Head out from Broadford, then turn onto a narrow one-lane road going to the tiny hamlet of Torrin. Before hitting Torrin, get off the tiny one-lane road onto an even tinier lane leading to a parking lot, from which we can hike to the abandoned fishing town of Camas Malag on the sea shore. We never find the tiny lane, but we do have a nice trip anyway and see some lovely animals.

Here's a couple (and a glimpse of a third):

11 days and counting. A few witty words, a picture from the balcony, something, anything, you owe us content.

I'm thinking of writing another entry about the same day. This narrative is going nowhere, slowly.
