So I’ve finally recovered from my 33 hour journey (overnight in EWR from Edinburgh to Miami Beach (EDI > LHW > EWR > MIA) landing at MIA at 9:50am 1/7/09. I think I’m back on EST and have returned to normal time-zone. Here’s some more images from a little trip Mum and I took to Culross (pronounced: coo-russ) last tuesday (Jan. 5, 2010) …

A view of the impeding storm on the Firth of Forth

A little trip south across the Firth of Forth river proved to be risky as a storm followed us around with sleet, snow and treacherous road conditions on what initially appeared at first to be a nice day. On our return, we had to wait 45 minutes (took a nap) before the bridge cleared for an accident, only to have the bridge close a few hours later. The irony was we went to visit the town of Blackness (Inn for sale!) … Beware all those who enter Blackness Castle!

Thought it might help to show a map of Scotland … *Mum lives in the town Limekilns, next to Dunfermline located across the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh.
