Well, I have arrived! After experiencing 5 different cities, 4 different airports, 4 different planes, 3 different time-zones, and ultimately losing my luggage, I have settled into Inverness! It was quite the adventure, and while I was quite nervous about traveling on my own, I managed fair enough.
After a long day and a half of travel, I had some lovely dinner with my Aunt and her family and then went to sleep for a good 14+ hours. After waking up(not by my own choice) we set out for a walk to town. Turns out my Aunt's house is in PRIME location! It's right near numerous parks, woods, rivers, ponds, downtown area, and islands (yes, Islands). The downtown is just short of magical and filled with many shops and many years of history. I will be back there many more times to explore.
As for the title of this post, I've also learned some new vocabulary. Cheeky is a term for someone with a sassy attitude, donner is what my family uses to describe the teenage hoodlums in the area, skive is when you are truant from school, and people "scurry along" quite often here.
It is now 12:45 in the morning here and if I ever hope to rid myself of this jet lag, I should probably scurry along to bed now. I miss all you back in the states very much. Please know that I think of you all very often and wish that all of you could share in this adventure with me. Here are some pictures for some visual aid!
