Today we got up early to go up to Arthur's Seat, a huge mountain in Edinbugh. We got pretty far, but didn't get up the whole thing because of time constraints. We still felt pretty good at getting up as far as we did. You can see our conquering of the rock above. Then it was time to say goodbye for now to Edinburgh. We packed up and caught the train to Fort William, which feels like the end of the world. We have a whole apartment to ourselves, so it is very nice to spread out. Once we got unpacked, we headed to the Glenfinnan Viaducts, which feature in the HP movies and the lake where Harry has to complete one of his Globlet of Fire Tasks and he flies the Hippogriff. We got lucky; the weather has been beautiful. Fort Williams is the site of Ben Nevis, the tallest peak in Britain. It is bascially a very small town that serves as a jumping off point for the hikers. We will not be climbing it, but it still seems like the theme of the day is impossible tasks.

How did the owl handling go? I thought we'd get to see a picture of the event. Do they have a "no pictures allowed" policy because the flash spooks the owls?
