Mull

This is way late.  I have been fairly busy trying to finish up work and study for the 9 exams I have coming up in May.  I also went on 2 week long climbing trips in the past 3 weeks (posts and pictures to come soon).  So here are some pictures from my field course on the Isle of Mull in Scotland.  I haven't had time to edit any of the photos, but the lighting was so good most of the time so hopefully most of them don't need it.  We were on the island from the 24th of March until the 31st, and had the privilege of seeing some really neat geology.  The weather for the most part was superb, and I even went swimming (who'd have thought).  Hope all is well.  Climbing trip photos are coming soon!
