Adios Edinburgh

Alright so that last week I was chilling out in Edinburgh still. Doing lots of things that I didn't get to do. I took a tour of Mary King's Close- a hokey historical type tour with ghost stories and the whole lot. It was quite fun actually. Well I had fun, however the girl who screamed and cried through the whole thing seemed to think other wise. It was outrageous actually the panic this kid was expressing. It was underground, so fair enough a bit creepy, however there were no jump out things or ghosts walking around. Listen up parents. When your kid is crying when you enter the first room of a tour and panicking so much that the tour guide gives her a flashlight so she doesn't pass out in fear, you should probably re-consider the tour. Maybe Lego land would be better suiting- or I know how about a little trip to the doctor's to get some tranquilizers or a little sedation.

Anyways I also walked about the Parliament and had some good days with a few friends that was really really great. Yesterday it was quite nice so I was walking around with my roomies on our way to some paddling pools (I'm an avid paddler now), and had to walk through the grass market, a place lined with pubs. It was quite packed even though it was only noon, I think the nice weather had something to do with it. Quite a few of the pubs had big groups of guys outside the doors. one particular group was actually singing The Live aid 'feed the world' Christmas Carol while one of the group barfed everywhere. No one panic though, he cleaned up on his sleeve and only one of his mates saw (except be and my eagle eyes).

Just a classy memory to keep in mind while I head to Rome tomorrow!!

Bonjourno. You have left the motherland.
Perhaps you can take Carter on a tour sometime and scare the bejeezies out of him!
Say hi to the Pope for me and tell him to send money to our school.
