I arrived back in San Jose last night.  I lucked out with the airport shuttle only making one stop before dropping me off.  I had dinner, unpacked, and loaded up the photos.  I had a brief scare in that I was unable to get the photos off of my small camera.  I bought a new card reader today (Sat.) and was able to salvage them. 

I know my fan club members want me to put just the best photos online along with titles and background info.  With a total of nearly 1000 photos, it will take some time to get all of this done (that whole working thing which I've avoided for three weeks will slow down my progress).   Below are four highlights to tide you over until all of them are online.  I'm also planning on putting up my full daily trip notes now that I have internet access again (without an hourly cost).

Driving through the Scottish Highlands, we made a photo-op in Glencoe:

One of my best photos of the trip was of Ross Castle in Ireland:

On the final night of the trip, my gang gathered at the pub:
