SCOTTISH wedding, not Scotting....as you will notice my error after the first link!
A view from the castle! The city of Edinburgh.



The Royal Mile from a distance.


One of the views from the castle.


Suzy and I fitting into the windows. We are like 15 stories up. Don't worry people, my left thigh wouldn't have fit through the opening!

Suzy, Katie, and me. In the backgroud is the Edinburgh Castle.



A snapshot of one of the entrances to part of the castle.


Me posing! We walked the hill up to the castle and this was on the way!


The group of us resting on our way up to the castle!


And us once again just outside the castle. We are facing the castle and behind us is the Royal Mile!



Scotland was amazing! Of course. It was a blast. I want to move there. We ventured into the Edinburgh Castle, a few churches, a haunted tour, the Botanical Gardens. The whole entire city was gorgeous no matter where you looked. Ancient castles, churches, homes, buildings. The Royal Mile leading up to the castle was beautiful. I have yet to download my own pictures...but for my impatient mother and sister, I will post a few that I have from some friends! I will get some more up tomorrow perhaps!
There are also a couple of videos that one my my friends took. I don't know how to embed them directly into the blog so I will just post the links. They are all less that 30 seconds, but they are kind of cool!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZS6pzxnFhQ While we were visiting the castle, there were two Scotting weddings going on. We were lucky enough to see part of the procession. This is one of them. There's not much to see, except Adam's face on the left, but it is awesome to hear. Judy, I think you might have a career ahead of you if you move to Scotland.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLQDX2u5Nc4 This one is about the same thing, although you get to see how WINFY it was. We about got blown away!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIA1HO7Np34 This one is hard to see. We just about missed it completely, but it is the Scotts marching away. Hard to see, but very cool all the same!
Cheers!

So, I have finally arrived in Liverpool, England. We got in at about 3am your time and I've yet to sleep! That 7 hour flight was looooong. No pictures yet because I look like a a giant jet lagged turd :) I'm all moved into the dorms and we start classes tomorrow. But only for two hours so we can go out and play in England. It's rather cold here and was sprinking when we got here. A girl on the plane told me its cold and rainy everyday! woo. It's about 40 degrees right now, but then again, it is midnight here. Nothing too thrilling has been happening yet. Campus is pretty and there is a ton of trees and landscaping so that makes me quite happy. Just wait until next week and I will post some sweet pictures. We're going to plan out our weekend tomorrow and we were thinking Ireland for Friday. We want to stay in England so we can take the rail rather than a flight for this first weekend. We'll see! Other options include Scotland, Austria, Spain, Italy, Germany, and Amsterdam. We'll be traveling every weekend for three days so we want to go to all of those places! We plan to spend our last full week in Barcelona at the beaches! We do this independent travel on our own, so it will be three friends and I most of the time on these little excursions.

Ciao!!
