it took me back...

I heart Scotland and all things Scottish. (Well...most things Scottish, at least.)

Anyhoo, for an early birthday present, Lisa took me to a Robert Burns Memorial Supper here in Idaho Falls.

There was dinner (which included a taste of haggis--but that deserves its very own post!), Celtic dancers, Celtic harp, and Henry's Fork Pipes and Drums! (Yes, I really do enjoy the bagpipes.) Oh yeah, plus Robbie Burns poetry reading. I really get a kick out of Burns' poetry; somehow I didn't think the kind of humor he used was around during the 18th century.

So...here are a few pix & flix of the evening...

We actually got there too late for the Entrance of the Haggis...
which is a bummer because it's supposed to be a big deal.

Me and Lisa
(Thanks again for the wonderful b-day gifty!)

Look at all those kilts!
*sheepish smile*

So I'll post more about haggis when I can. (You should be excited for that post, you should!)
