Day Five: Fort William/B&B

Festivities started! We woke up at normal time, and headed out after breakfast to look at ruins and such, and finally head to Achnacarry Castle and the Clan Cameron Museum. For those of you who don't know, Achnacarry is the home of the clan's chief, and is really freaking awesome. We didn't get to go into the castle today, nor will we-- it's being renovated-- but we went to the Museum and all, and John and I hiked up a mountain in search for Bonnie Prince Charlie's cave. No luck though, just soar legs and regret. Remind me not to do that again.

We headed back to the B&B early-- about 4:00 or so, and got ready for the Reception that night. I dressed up all snazzy, moreso than I had to, but dressing fancy is really fun and all, so whatever. We met everyone and spent a while there, and learned that, apparently, people in Scotland have never heard of a cola and red bull mix. How odd. They were fine with my 7-Up and Orange Juice/ Virgin Momosa thing though.

We then headed out with two of the regional presidents from North America-- one from Canada and the other from the New York area-- they brought their family. No one else got to know we went, nor did they get to come. It was like a little hardcore secret party. We went to dinner at a fancy restaurant/bar, and had tons of fun. The best part was the desert though-- Cre`me Brul`e! Yum.

We got back to the B&B about 11:00, told the owner that we wanted breakfast later than normal, and slept innnnn.
