Edinburgh

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is a quaint little city. It's a place I need a vacation home when I am older. :) We took a 5 hour train ride up North, and it was a beautiful trip. The countryside has sheep everywhere, which became trouble as the ride progressed since Nicki and I began making sheep noises. We arrived in Edinburgh, hoped in the cab, and minutes later saw the castle that sits upon the hill in the city. It literally looked like an opening scene from a horror film.

We immediately went exploring down the Royal Mile...hit all the pubs...tried Scottish Whiskey and called it a night.

The following day we had seminars and then prepared for Nikki's 21st Birthday. Although not celebrated in the States...it was a very typical 21st birthday with sloppiness and shot-taking.

The next day we hiked to see King Arthurs stone, went out on the town (yet again)and attended a few seminars.

Needless to say, I went to class the following Monday extra tired and with the sniffles.

Not quite sure what I am up to this week-more to come.
