Weekend in SCOTLAND

Sorry I haven’t written in a few days. Internet in Edinburgh was terrible!

Pied Piper was an extremely cool show. The entire thing was hip-hop dancing with pretty good music. There was no dialogue except for a narrator every once in a while. I enjoyed it a lot!

So Friday (12/11) morning we started our 3-day weekend as we journeyed off to SCOTLAND! The train north took a little less than 5 hours. The second we got off the train we knew we were in a totally new place. It was SO COLD and it was SO FOGGY! We arrived in Edinburgh, which is the capital of Scotland and the 2^nd biggest city in the UK. At first glance it seemed like a pretty nice place.

We arrived at the hotel and Steve booked a 2-bedroom apartment… for 10 of us! It was a little crowded to say the least, but we mad it work. It was like a giant slumber party. After settling in and whatnot, we were all excited to explore. We decided it would probably be a good idea to get some food. We went to a pub and decided we aught to do as the locals do, so everybody got a pint of beer with dinner. I know what you’re thinking, but it actually wasn’t terrible. Apparently the beer here tastes more like cider; I thought it tasted very similarly to red bull ;)

So we hung out at the pubs for a little bit and played pool and whatnot. When we went home around 12ish I noticed something… restaurants and other places were still open! And people were out and about on the streets! Everything in London closes around that time, but it was nice that people were still out in Edinburgh.

The next day (12/12) we basically shopped the whole afternoon. We also saw Edinburgh castle which was cool, but I got over it quickly and went back to shopping. That night we went to a dance club which was a lot of fun. A bunch of us just danced for a few hours and hung out but we didn’t stay out to late because we had to wake up early for the train the next working. It was still cold and still SO FOGGY!

This morning we left Edinburgh and arrived back in London this afternoon. I’ve just been relaxing for the most part and writing my review for Mother Courage, which is almost done. Tomorrow we are doing a bunch of things, like touring the Globe Theater. Well I’m off to sleep in a bit; I can’t believe it’s the start of the final week!
