"My favorite thing in Scotland was the surprisingly tasty local dish Haggis. I ate it several times, and each time it was served over neeps (mashed turnip) and tatties (mashed potatoes). It’s made by stuffing a sheeps stomache with the animal’s heart, lungs, and liver, and then adding oatmeal, onion, fat, and seasonings. I didn’t find this out until about thirty seconds ago when I googled the recipe.

I also ate black (blood) pudding… and a quick Google scan tells me that’s made of pig’s blood mixed with fat. And yes, I loved that too...

This trip was the first time I carried a moleskine notepad, taking notes of my travels–I know everywhere I went, and I wrote down things people said or did so I could remember later. I also notated every photo I took so that I could create a much better journal, and title all the stills. I highly recommend keeping a pocket notepad with you on travels–it just makes remembering the trip so much easier! Holland bought me a wallet pen to go along with it… the perfect companion!"
