one disappointment after another

On our second day there we were forced to take a 2 hr walking tour. Shit was BOOOORING. There were 2 guides there, one was funny and wore a kilt, and the other was a stout fellow with a folder in his hand..if you didn't already guess, I got chubbs. He knew his facts but lets face it, I have the attention span of a pickle and wasn't at all amused by his stories. At least I wasn't Alejandro though, he was chosen to play the part of a robber in a story our guide wouldn't finish until the end of the tour and had to wear a zoro mask around Scotland for 2 hours.Annalyse and Karla both saw the Davinci Code and really wanted to see Rosalyn Chapel. I thought if it's anything like the other churches in Europe, it has to be worth seeing. Boy was I wrong. The 3 of us got there with the other students who wanted to go and quickly realized the movie makes it seem far much cooler than it actually is. (PS none of the clues in the movie actually exist in the church- in fact the only cool thing I saw was a circular mark left on the wall from where the production people glued on the star of david) The chapel is smaller than our house and everyone fell asleep while the lady was giving her speech.
