Litzy In Scotland!: Edinburgh trip!

I have not written in a week due to the lack of interesting things to write about. Basically the week went like this: I went to class, hung around with friends, went out Tuesday and Thursday nights (a friend had her21st birthday) and took a trip to Tesco for food which was much needed. I was basically eating what ever I had left, which was weird pasta concoctions. Now I have actual food to sustain myself haha

Today Kelsey, Emily and I went to Edinburgh for the day to wonder around and be tourists. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, people were out and we were ready to explore the city. Edinburgh was more than i expected and evidently we didn't see a lot of the city, but we did get a good taste and walked what felt like 25 miles haha. We went to a small pub for lunch and I had my first try of Haggis! It was actually very good, but it was deep fried and with mashed potatoes so of course it tasted good! We walked up to the castle of Edinburgh hung around a bit, but decided not to go in because the line was about 2 miles long to get tickets and we wanted to see more of the city than the castle. So another trip to Edinburgh is defiantly necessary! Edinburgh is a shopping girl's paradise! There were so many stores that we were sort of overwhelmed, at one point we sat down in Urban Outfitters and just sat there to hopefully get a second wind. And guess what I didn't buy ANYTHING from Urban (for those who know me know that I'm obsessed with UO). My favorite store was probably Topshop, but unfortunately its very expensive, so it was more of a window shopping day (but I did find a very cute scarf).

By 6 we were all out of energy and decided to catch the train back to Stirling. I don't know if i have mentioned this yet, but i LOVE the transportation here, its sooooo easy to get from one place to another, and if your confused there are many information centers and signs everywhere. Overall the day was really fun, and i plan on staying in tonight and getting some reading done tomorrow (I'm still not back into the school mode yet, too many fun things to do and cool places to go see).

peace and love!
