Finally Online: The Journey Begins!

Well to all my fans I apologize...I landed 4 days ago and was unable to post until this afternoon. Scotland is amazing, but getting internet at the college was a large task. Even if we did have it prior to today, I still would not have been able to post anything...I've been busy....to say the very least. 

We began in Musselburgh where Queen Margaret University is located (where I live)...It's just up the road from Edinburgh and a short bus ride has been taking us there often. Edinburgh is such a wonderful city...everything I imagined and more. The people are friendly and although it is about the size of Columbus, it is much easier to navigate and the public transportation couldn't be better. 

There has been some culture shocks of course...I think I blew out the electricity...not sure though...and the bathroom belongs in an airplane (VERY SMALL). My flat altogether though is comfortable and I am enjoying it when I sleep. 

Yesterday we went to New Berwick (Bar-rick). It's somewhat of an upscale harbor town that had a lot to do...A sealife center is there and they give tours to a large island called Bass. Here you find puffins, gannets and many other water birds. So why not go on a tour?...OH...Because I was talked into climbing a mountain! And I did...very willingly. It was rainy and steep but the view was well worth it. We can now saw we climbed "the Law."

Tomorrow is another day of travel...today was somewhat leisurely and much appreciated. I ate at a nice pub outside of the old gallows and enjoyed yet another cup of coffee. By the way...the coffee here is wonderful, no matter where you go...I think I have found my new home!

Until next time!
