Hello from Edinburgh
We’re about to head out the door for more sightseeing, but I thought I’d take a moment to turn in my last post of 2003 and put up some photos of my stay in Edinburgh so far.
As expected, it’s been rather cold here. It snowed a little last night, and the various news outlets have been predicting more snow for tonight (the BBC is calling for “near blizzard” conditions, although I tend to wonder if their definition of “blizzard” isn’t a bit different than mine).
Ammon, Jamie and I have had an enjoyable time hanging out with the locals (mostly Jamie’s ultra geeky University of Edinburgh friends), and we Americans have been thoroughly initiated into Scottish culture by our new friends (we even visited a chip shop for some artery-clogging goodness last night, although Ammon wussed out and had some sort of vegetarian concoction!).
Anyway, people are demanding that I put down the computer so we can leave. See you all in the new year!
(Update: Ammon’s friend Ryan has exposed our true plans for New Years Eve!)
