I made it to Edinburgh!

First things first, some business to take care of.

To James, my dear new friend, I dedicate this post to you. May we have a long friendship (even if the post itself is a short one).

OK. So, after a verrrrry long bus ride, I am now in Edinburgh, Scotland. We left at around 8:30 am this morning, and only made one quick stop in Loch Ness. I looked my hardest for Nessie, but alas, she was no where to be found.

I'm still a believer, though.

But now we're in Edinburgh, from what I can tell, a very beautiful city. It's the first of the BIG places we're going on this trip. We were actually told that it would be beneficial to use a taxi while we were here. I've never used a taxi before in my life. Apparently there are many sections to this city.

Old and new.

Big and small.

Long and short.

Obviously, I exaggerate, but you get my drift. From the little I have seen thus far, it is quite lovely, though. I think we are going to take a ghost tour, perhaps, tonight. Now that should be quite interesting. Right up my ally! I wonder what the Scottish equivalent for "Here ghostie, ghostie!" is....

Cheers!

So whatever happened to the broken toe story? And exactly how intoxicated were you when it happened?

Oh and Amanda wants to know who the hell is James?

I actually wasn't intoxicated at all when it happened. I was being all outdoorsy and adventurous.

What happened was I was attempting to climb a cliff when I got mt foot caught underneath a rather large Irish rock. I twisted in a way that the rock did not like, and apparently EVERYTHING over there has tempers, so, snap, broken toe. I didn't realize it was broken right away, but I did realize I was in excruciating pain right away.

I got intoxicated that night if that counts.

James is a rugby player from England I met while I was in Dublin. He was offended because I didn't mention him in my blog, so I gave him a shout-out.
