Castles Are Cool
On the second day in Scotland, we picked up our rental car and took off to see some of the country side.


Scott was excited to drive again, especially on the wrong side of the road!


The first castle we stopped at was Culzean Castle. It was really more like a mansion with lots of property, but still very cool to see.

We weren't allowed to take pictures inside so we just took pics of the grounds.



Obviously it was the perfect opportunity to play some GOTT! (Get Off That Thing is the Official Game of Cool Kids Everywhere . . . just incase you didn't know).


Then we had a dance party.


Overall, it was just a really good day for taking pictures.

It started to rain, so we got back in the car and were off to see another castle.
On the way, we passed this island which is a bird sanctuary.

I can't remember the name of this one . . . but it was fun to explore!




Again, it was the perfect opportunity to play some more GOTT.



And then it started to rain again.

So we finished taking pictures and waved goodbye to the castle.

We decided that fish n' chips would be a tastey snack so Scott took us to a cute little resturant in the city.

We were hungry.

The rest of the night we spent at Scotty's flat playing cards with his roomie, Nano. We taught him how to play euchre. . .

and I convinced the guys I knew how to rig the deck. . .




it was a fun night!

We woke up at 4 am the next morning to take Mark to the airport. Sadly his trip was over. It was really great to have him here, but I already miss him so much! Scott and I spent the rest of the day driving to Edinburgh. He showed me the castle and the shopping street, which was totally a tease because nothing was really open yet. There was no shopping for me on this trip! But we had a great time on our mini road trip, catching up and chatting about life.

Thanks for a great time, Scott!!

Now Im back in Amsterdam, and this week Dan and I actually have to do homework as the first block of school is ending, and our holiday weeks begin!! We have planned a trip to Barcelona, Paris and London and we leave next Wednesday!! If anyone has any suggestions of things to see (besides the obvious) please let us know.

In Barcelona be careful of pick pockets... Not as bad as Seville, but it can be pretty bad on Las Ramblas (I think I spelled that right.) Oh and the department stores in Spain are cool.
