"Happy Hunting"

In response to my sister's request and so I don't have to write: the scavenger hunt.

"Sarah,
Good to hear from you so soon. I was expecting that you would drop off the face of the planet for the whole semester.
I look forward to hearing all of your stories in greatly embellished detail. In the meantime, I propose a scavanger hunt. These are things I insist on you doing and sending me pictures as the tasks are accomplished. There may be additions to the list as I think of them. 

1. Drink tea and eat scones. 
2. A sheep
3. Pose with someone in a kilt. 
4. A picture of a member of the aristocracy (anyone with a title--preferably the queen. Or Sir Elton John).
5. Eat Haggis. No cheating, you have to actually be eating it. 
6. The worst British teeth that you have seen. 
7. Try to find platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station
8. At a british sporting event (rugby, cricket, drinking)
9. Tweed. Anyone in Tweed. Especially if its you. 
10. The most bland, disgusting looking food you have encountered. *has to be something other than Haggis, you already got points for that one. 
11. A british celebrity. Or an american one if you can manage it.
12. The Pope. You have three days before he leaves so good luck. 
13. Puddings. All kinds. I really want to know what "spotted dick" looks like and why they gave it such a wonderful name. 
14. Drink a pint of bitter in the local pub
15. Run down the scottish hillside a la "Sound of Music"
16. Kiss a boy with an accent (no pictures please...ick)
17. London's deperate attempts to get ready for the Olympics. 
18. Dad and Mom getting lost on a scottish back road (come on, we all know that is going to happen)
19. The most Chav-tastic person you can find
20. The most intensely british person you find (you know, the kind who reads rudyard kipling and rowed while he was at Eton)
21. The most scottish person you've seen
22. The most Irish person you've seen (probably at #14)
23. A sunny day (gonna be a tough one)
24. The loch ness monster (easier)
25. Run across the hill like bravehart (face paint optional, but preferred)
26. Castle. Or cool looking ruins. Regardless you have to act like a disney princess.
27. On the London Eye. With an American Flag.  
28. Minding the gap
29. Crossing the street like the Beatles on the Abby Road cover.
30. Eating Indian Food. Ordered "Indian-person" spicy. Then crying.
31. Something Dickensian.
32. Something Shakespearean. 
33. Kippers for breakfast
34. Snow Angels (but most brits are athiests, so snow-people-that-just-happen-to-have-wings)
35. Corgi--does not have to belong to the queen, but a plus
36. A rabbit hole. That goes to wonderland. (Looking glass acceptable substitute)
37. Wellingtons 
38. A french person (probably looking uncomfortable and attempting to descipher scottish accents while smoking a cigarette and wearing a beret)
39. Photographic representation of a nursery rhyme (can be you posing with three blind mice, a cat jumping over the moon, a lost sheep, you get the picture)
40. A snowman. Dressed as a character from British literature. 
41. Fish and Chips
42. The strangest thing they serve at Scottish McDonald's (You know you'll go there eventually)
43. Find a wardrobe. Find Narnia
44. You, snow, a lamppost (a fawn if you can manage it)
45. You and a stone statue in the snow
46. Turkish delight
47. You and a lion
48. Try to find a decent pizza. Go ahead. Try
49. Someone who's just got back from holiday in Mallorca (you will be able to tell because they'll be orange)
50. Waldorf Salad at a hotel. Don't mention the war. 

Challenge. 

Happy hunting. I welcome suggestions for Japan/Southeast Asia. 
Lucy"

Additions:

51. Must have photo with you attempting to play bagpipes...preferably walking across a fairway on the Old Course of St. Andrews but bagpipes alone are sufficient.

52. Run barefoot ala Chariots of Fire while listening to Annie Lennox

53. sip Scotch - straight up....any Glen....GlenFiddich, GlenLivet, etc.

54. Scuddy Running.....one time

55. Locate a monument or statue to Bobbie Burns

56. observe highland cattle

57. Attend a ceilidh( I have no idea how that's spelled, but it s a party)

Alright. This is going to be a challenge, but it's on.
