Annnnnd Scotland

Since no one else is posting, I figure I'll post.

I'm in Scotland. Tonight is my last night here. And it's been pretty jammed packed with action and adventure.

Thursday morning, we got up early, piled on a bus and drove. We stopped at Hadrian's Wall, which was really rad. I pretended to be a Roman Centurion, on patrol, climbing on the wall, being all cool and stuff. Trying and failing to pet sheep. There were a lot of sheep. But it was so pretty.

Friday was dominated by my going to the Olympic Womens Soccer Quarterfinals. It was United States vs. New Zealand. So of course, we (me and my friends who went) got all decked out in our finest American swag and were the stereotypical tourists. It was really fun. The seats were amazing and THE US WOMEN WON! 2-0! IT WAS SO INTENSE!! THE KIWI'S (New Zealanders are called Kiwis) GOALIE GOT KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS!

And then Friday evening the program took us to the Edinburgh Castle and we watched the Edinburgh Royal Military Tattoo, which was awesome and beyond describing.  There were so many bagpipes and so much dancing. It was fantastic. The even played music from Brave. It made me so happy.

Today was mostly wandering around Edinburgh, exploring the sights and such. We went to the Castle and actually went inside. (I'll upload photos eventually). And in the evening, two of my friends and I made the trek up Arthur's Seat, which is this intense mountain-esque land mass. It was an intense hike, but I am so out of shape it's not even funny. And it was super foggy, so we literally couldn't see anything. I was convinced we had died on the mountain and were wandering around in limbo. But we survived. I only fell down once, and managed not to break anything.  a feat, really.

Um, yes. That's what I have been up too.

WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN DOING?!? YOU SHOULD POST AND TELL ME THINGS?!?!

...please?
