Edinburgh

The Fulbright reunion continued in Edinburgh, Scotland. With all the events and parties planned, it was easy to push behind thoughts of leaving, and that this was our last big trip before returning to the expected cycle of life in Maryland. 

Our Edinburgh digs.

Edinburgh is one of Rose's favorite cities to walk through. Bagpipes can be heard in in the cobblestone street and the castle is reflected in almost every building, creating the illusion of a clean medieval city.

The Fulbright ladies hit town and the good times flowed with the wine. It was so much fun to hear all of the funny UK teaching stories and commiserate with those who knew our experience well. "Alright?"

We rarely eat seafood so the big hit was watching Jesse try his first mussel and oyster. Thumbs up for the mussels, but oysters taste like slimy boogers.

Scotch and Kilts, I cannot think of a better foundation for a country. A request for a quick picture turned into Jesse sharing vintage single malt Scotch whiskey with a stranger on the the street. 25 year old Scotch is delicious! Sláinte

The 12th century Lewis Chessmen were on display at the Royal Museum of Scotland. This is my favorite piece from the collection.
