so i guess i should mention that I'm now in Scotland with heather and chad in their Glasgow home... so far I've been lucky enough to have some really beautiful weather.... started off my Scotland experience by checking out Edinburgh, the city upon the city... literally, there are bridges in the city over top of the city.. if that makes any sense... google Edinburgh and you will know what i mean.. beyond that, it's hard to get over the history here... every thing is so old and so many things have happened that it's kind of overwhelming... walking down the street you are constantly noticing plaques where someone was burned at the stake or where a famous person lived or was born... it's incredible... we wandered around for most of the day, venturing to Arthur's Seat to try and get a better look of the entire city... the weather held up and we managed to have a lovely day!!
yesterday we attempted to walk around Glasgow and take in it's sights however, weather was not on our side and we ended up catching up on some other cultural things... such as shopping!!! i also got to see heather's school and even met a Scotty class mate!! fun!
today we bused out to St. Andrew's (St. Andrew being the patron saint of Scotland) where Prince William went to school and where the protestant church was first formed in Scotland... it was a beautiful little town with again, SO MUCH history... St. Andrew's is also the birthplace of golf which obviously thrilled heather and i... we were going to play some holes but were slightly deterred by the year long waiting list to get on the green and the 600 pound fee... maybe next year... tomorrow we're off to Fort William over night to check out Glen Coe and Ben Nevis (Scotland's highest mountain).. looking forward to it!
