Scotland Road Trip

Hearing the great news of Ian's and Fiona's wedding brought back a lot of memories for me of my days in Scotland...

Here are some pictures I pulled up of our road trip.. with Ian, George, and I. (2003)

Brave At Heart: A Scottish Wedding

Well done, Ian and Fiona! You both look radiant -- well, Fiona is stunning anyways :-p Good lad, Ian. You've finally joined the ol' (hitched) boys club. May you both have a lifetime of happiness as you embark on life's adventures, together.

I first met Ian in October 2000, when I moved to Dundee (Scotland) to do my PhD -- though we became better friends a bit later on. Ian officially gave me the whirlwind tour of Scotland, when we drove along the east, north then west coasts of the beautifully rugged nation. All in one weekend. And we even managed to hike up a couple hills during that trip. Hard to believe it has been that many years ago now.

CONGRATULATIONS to you both! And visit us in the Blue Ridge mountains of Georgia!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hogmanay Cheryll, and the rest of the Tickle Lab :-D

Dundee, Durham & Duke

[me and Vipul, circa early 2004 when Kelly and I were still dating]

Wow, it's amazing how time flies. I was just looking back at a few old photos on my MSN photo album online (which I no longer use really) and stumbled upon a few of my Dundee (Scotland) days, Karim (ex-housemate) days, and early days living here in Durham. I hope I have these photos backed up some place. That's the thing with digital pictures - they just don't mean as much as typical hard copies from negatives. I am sure I have some (all) backed up away on some CD, and if I do not, well, that would be a shame, since looking back on MSN brought a ton of (good) memories.
