My Adventures in Scotland...

Well, to be more accurate: My Adventures in Edinburgh and St. Andrews.

Last weekend I went up to Edinburgh to visit one of my cape friends. He has decided to do all four years at the University of Edinburgh, and I was more than happy to stay free there J

Edinburgh for the most part is a "chill" city, very much like Boston, lots of college kids and the streets are dead after midnight. But is still a city, whereas St. Andrews was, quaint, to say the least. It had a very "osterville" feel, but that could be because it is on the water, rich, and has many golf courses.

Probably the most interesting part of the trip was seeing the Venga Boys in concert. Though I really wouldn't call it a concert, they pretty much sucked actually... couldn't sing, couldn't dance. But the audience at the club could do both, and didn't care that they band could do either.



The entire trip was, how shall I say this, ummm, filled with good times, some of which I cannot remember ;) Which is ok, because the drinking age over here is 18, and I am definitely older that 18, and I didn't do anything horrendously stupid... The stupidest thing I did was walk up to the top of Arthur's Seat (while sober, mind you) in my Nine West ballet flats, DKNY jeans, a blazer, and a long wool jacket... hiking and fashion are a bad idea. But I am pleased to say that my shoes held up fine and I am planning on writing a letter to Nine West to tell them how wonderful their shoes are!
