Edinburgh

I absolutely fell in love with Scotland. I've already looked into moving here and what all I need to do with Kirby so he can come too.

Walking out of my hostel the first thing you saw was the castle sitting high up on a hill. There is a pub every five steps and steak and ale pie is amazing. I went wandering down rose street and found a pub that looked fun. There were two guys sitting by me so I asked them where were some good places to go. It turns out they were brothers and their friend kerry came and met them! She was so much fun. We went to a bar called Jekyll and hydes and the inside was all dark and had creepy things in it. The bathrooms were even hidden behind bookshelves! The older brother got wayyy to drunk so they had to take him home. They walked me home but before we got there we jumped the fence into the park next to the castle!! It was such an amazing view!

The next day I just went walking around Edinburgh. I did the free walking tour that they had there and learned all kinds of interesting history. I even tried haggis! It was actually kinda good. We got to see the place where jk Rowling write the first two harry potter books Also we saw the cemetery where she mix and matched names to make some of the characters. One of the guys from the walking tour was staying at my hostel and a bunch of us were going to do the pub crawl.

The pub crawl was a lot of fun. I met a group from Austin Texas! I hung out with them most of the night. We got to the last bar and I remember looking up and no one was there from the pub crawl! I had been dancing with an Irish guy who ended up proposing to me. I wish I could have remembered his name! Somehow I made it home and the next day was rough. I apparently hit my head on something pretty hard because one spot really hurts.

My last day in Edinburgh was pretty lazy. I just walked around for a while and did the scotch whiskey experience! You go on this little ride and see how they make scotch and you get to taste one. There are four areas that produce whiskey so I tried the one that is sort of fruity. I got the gold ticket package thing so at the end I got to taste one from each of the four. It was hard to drink them! I really liked one that was very smoky. It tasted like I was drinking barbecue. They have the worlds largest collection of scotch there it's something like 3400 different bottles. Some of the bottles were really cool looking like chess pieces or golf bags.

I was so sad to leave!! I am dying to go back but money is running out so I have to start heading towards Ireland.
