A funny thing happened in Edinburgh last week...for two straight days it was completely sunny, not a cloud in the sky! Like a vampire, the sun burned my eyes at first and I realized how much I miss the sun and (also like a vampire) how incredibly white and tanless I am. That being said, Bryan and I decided to get some much needed sun and climb Arthur's Seat, which is literally a stone's throw away from our flat.
The view is spectacular!! My pictures above don't really do it justice. Not only were we higher up than Edinburgh Castle, but we could see a 360 degree view of the city from the Firth of Forth to the south mountains near Penicuik. This large nature park is an oasis in the middle of the city. It was breath taking! I noticed several young artists sitting on various rocks painting all they saw before them. What a great place to find that artistic expression that's in all of us.
Final essay papers are looming on my horizon, so I'm sure it will be hard to write a new entry with all the stress and craziness that will be my life. I will try though...For now enjoy the beautiful pictures of our rare sunny day!
