Rain, rain, go away!

Last day in Scotland....sad day.
I learned why my tour drivers just keep their windshield wipers on....it's because at any time, even when the sun is shining, it might start raining again.

...and that is what happened today on our way to Loch Lomond  and during the boat tour(Loch=Lake). Really pretty, but foggy, so no pictures came out. But after lunch in Aberfoyle, we headed to Stirling Castle....and the sun came back out. What gorgeous views of the city!


On the way back I took an impromptu walking tour (aka shopping) down the Royal Mile, which lead to a small pub when I heard Scottish music being played. A long, round about walk later and I was back at Pollacks Hall at the University of Edinburgh packing up!

Tomorrow is an early day.....good bye Scotland, hello Great Britain! My train pulls right into Cambridge. Our class meets for a quick tour of Kings College and we begin that evening!  I'm thinking the next two weeks are going to go by very quickly.

*Sorry this is delayed. Pictures were slow to upload!

  1. Wow! What a gorgeous view! I want to hear more about this impromptu walking tour! Any purchases made? I'm sure the Scottish music wasn't the only thing that enticed you towards the pub! ;-)
