“I just got back from a trip to London. During that trip, me and my family took a plane to Scotland and spent a weekend there. I finally got to see Loch Ness... and let me tell you, pictures don't do it justice. And having been there, I can actually buy why people think there's a monster there. You don't realize how remote the Loch still feels unless you're actually there and when you see the lake shrouded by mist... it makes it easier to believe that there's something hidden in there. Just a really cool experience!”
