Becoming a Scot: Step 1 -Eating Haggis

OOOK....I did it. For the long months leading up to my trip almost everyone would ask me, in a poor scottish accent, "are yooo goin' to eat some haggis???"

Well....yes....and I did. Went to "The Last Drop" pub again where the service is good and they have a really nice student rate...and a great Latte. I went by myself the day prior but today I brough along the two Sams and Rachel. They all go a pasta dish and I had my eye set on the inevitable...HAGGIS....with tatties (mashed potatoes) and Neeps (mashed turnips). 

I'm still not all certain what was in it, but to much my surprise, it was REALLY good. I actually think you could market it in the US and just not call it Haggis...The looks are bad as well, but a fork full of the spicy stuff mixed with a little neeps...YUM!!!

We also started the day in Dunbar at the town's Harbor Festival. Like many Ohio festivals, there was an Elvis impersonator and the smell of fried everything. Unlike Ohio, however, the festival came with a nice view of the North Sea. 

On the way into Edinburgh, while we were running to catch the train...a Rainbow popped up, like they normally do here, and landed on my future country estate outside of Musselburgh....please feel free to donate to this charitable cause.
