looking out at the ocean after eating lunch and walking around for a while, mom saw a whale surface and then dive back under. we all looked where she pointed and saw it happen again. really cool. this is one more whale than we saw on our two hour boatride the next day that was supposed to show us cool animals, but that's another story.
the day we drove out to neist point was probably the warmest day while we were in skye, and mom and becky took their sweaters off to take this picture. so, yeah: it was sunny and clear and beautiful on this day, but in no way were we hot. the sweaters went right back on after the picture had been taken.
the day after this it was chilly and rainy and in the 50s and i was cold with jeans, a long sleeved shirt, a sweater, and my rain jacket on. in august. we were driving and stopped to try to get a view of the old man of storr, but he was covered in clouds, and as we were walking back to the car we passed an older man with his dog. we smiled* and said hi, and he said, upon hearing our american accents, "you come here for the summer?" after a two second pause, he continued: "that was yesterday."
oh, scottish humor. old man with the dog: i enjoy you. you and your isle of skye quasi summer.
*it was probably more of a grimace. we were cold.
