My travel buddy and I





Rain, rain ,rain






Bridge overlooking the city







People in their kilts!








At the park!









Jail!










This is my neighborhood!


Edinburgh, Scotland is the prettiest city I have ever seen!!! The pictures don't even begin to describe!

Melanie and I arrive Friday morning and spent the entire morning exploring. We took a FREE walking tour that afternoon, which was really cool! It did pour like I've never seen rain before though...

Saturday we walked the Royal Mile (it starts at the Edinburgh Castle and goes to the Queens Palace)... and we SHOPPED a ton!!! I bought so many souvenirs for everyone that it tripled my bag I brought for the weekends weight! After shopping we walked up this hill to a park that overlooked the entire city, which was beautiful... all the traveling for the past four weeks had made us exhausted so we passed out accidentally for a three hour nap in the park. I felt so much better afterwards!
Our hostel we stayed in was a little gross... we shared a room with five other women... and one shower for twenty people (boys and girls) I am officially saying this is the last time I will ever stay in a hostel because a in six months I can no longer consider myself a poor college student, thank god! :)

We arrived in Dublin today after an hour in customs... they wouldn't let me through because they didn't understand why I was only in Dublin for two weeks studying... haha
We came back and took a shower and then went to the famous jail here... which I can't remember how to spell, sorry! But it was really neat!
Tomorrow a bus tour of the city!

Sorry I haven't been writing much... its hard keeping this up!
