Today we had to be ready by nine to get in a train to Sterling. When we arrived in Sterling we got on a city bus and went to the William Wallace memorial. The monument looked like a giant tower that can be seen for miles because it is on top of a hill. In order to get to it, you have to climb to the top of the hill. The hill was just another reminder of how out of shape I really am. After the hill we got to the base of the monument. It was very windy even at the base of the mountain, then we had to climb up 246 stairs to the top of the monument. the monument was very interesting and made of stone. On the top it was incredibly windy. Afterwards we went to another museum and had a lecture by one of the workers. He explained in great detail the art of warfare and techniques used during battles. It was interesting but too gory.
