Europe Survey 2013: London Day 2/Inverness Day 1

It's a wonderful night in Inverness, Scotland! We landed here around 9pm local time. Before our flight we had a great time at Tarl's church, New Cross Road Baptist Church. We met some really nice people and it was great to hear some of their stories. While we were talking to a guy named Martin, he told us he liked our American accents. Pretty funny since I wish I had a British one! After the service we got our bags from Tarl's house and he took us to the train. We have actually been loving the mass transit here. It takes a bit to figure it out but it's fast and much easier than fighting traffic and looking for a parking space. We took the train to the airport and caught our flight to Inverness. Once we landed we took a taxi to our hotel and along the way we chatted with our driver about life in Inverness. The drive from the airport was stunning with rolling hills of farms and sheep with the sun setting over the North Sea. We checked into our hotel and found our room. Naturally the first thing you do when you get to your room is flip on the light...but none of the lights worked. After a few minutes we realized we had to put our key card in the slot on the wall to power the lights (photo below). It's been an amazing and eventful past few days. Tomorrow we're looking forward to exploring the city and possibly meeting some people here. Check out some of our photos from today!
