Loch Ness in the evening: behold the mystery.
*Gasp* "Look out the window! It's that terrifying Scottish she-beast of the Lake, Nessie! Stay below deck-we're all going to meet a watery demise! Oh, the humanity! Save us, Lord, from this terror from The Deep! "
Friends on the boat after the bone-chilling Nessie hunt.
Actually, there are some creepy things in Loch Ness. As you can imagine, researchers have done umpteen dives, scans, etc. in the lake, and the boat that we took has a live 3-D sonar monitor that you can watch as you cruise the water. There are a couple kinds of rather large carnivorous fish that live there, as well as a family of 18 "large creatures" that live near the bottom.
Two days after the boat ride, we went back to the lake and stood on the shore shouting, "Come to me, come to me, Nessie, Nessie!" to see if we could inspire an appearance. (No, it wasn't my idea. It was the Scottish bus driver's-I promise!" No luck, though.
After much careful thought and logical deduction, I've decided that Nessie probably isn't after human flesh. Seriously, with all those big fish taking up space in her lake, why bother with a couple of polyester-coated people? I'm sure she just surfaces occasionally to monitor for urban sprawl, check the latest Spring fashion trends, and find out who won the World Cup. You know, the usual.

Hi Monica, I just read over all your entries. What fun! I'm so glad you are having so much fun and seeing so many great sights. I would love to see Nessie! Keep safe and keep writing. I love it. Mo
Hey Mo! I was thinking about you in Ireland! So many beautiful places; the cliffs of Moher and Dingle Pennisula were especially cool. I was going to ask you if you ever went to Portrush when you were little, because it's such a family vaction town. Fun!
