France and Scotland, Part 2

Went out to France and Scotland for a few days each



Saw the Mona Lisa, definitely cool to see the real thing



Checked out the inside of Notre Dame: the interior is beautiful



The alter of Notre Dame



A shot taken just across the river from Notre Dame



Having a glass of wine in Montmarte, watching the painters work their magic



The weather was incredible during the entire stay in France



Chillin just outside of Concorde Square



Sacre Couer off in the distance



Standing next to a real Monet is amazing!......



Had to get a pic of the signature -> authentic



Yes - that is a real, authentic Van Gogh - bad ass.



Also got to see a real Renoir, all seen at the Musée d'Orsay



And of course, I had to make it back out to Scotland



Shot of the castle where Monty Python was filmed, just at the end of the river



The weather was so great in Scotland....beautiful the entire time



In front of the British Commando Memorial



Got to sail down the loch ness, where two F-18 fighters suddently flew down the river overhead; needless to say, I got pretty excited when I saw that



Just past the trees is the Speyside River. The Speyside River is where the MacAllan, Glen Livet, and Glen Fiddich distilleries all sit



The Firth of Fourth bridge in Edinburgh



Standing out from of the Edinburgh Castle



The Scotch just seems to taste even better in Scotland: took a Scotch tasting tour



Shot from the side of the castle, getting close to sunset



Still can't believe how nice the weather was
