the 2 part blog entry (part 2)

scenes from the weekend

Edinburgh Farmer's Market at Castle Terrace



trying out jams


it's rough being a dog at a market. all sorts of things to eat, and nobody wants to share

delicious? i'm sure. well named? eh ...



just the castle again, no big deal



where from you buy a sandwhich that is carved directly off the poor dead body of the hog who is lying on display right behind that glass window. audrey had one and pronounced it "amazing." potentially comes with a side of haggis. why wouldn't you want one?

The Big Cheese




There were a lot of dressed up kids this week. Like the group of guys in shorts and red capes with plastic swords who ran around yelling "THIS IS SPARTA!" and generally making nuisances out of themselves. It was kind of awesome.

Overall it's been a really good week, and this one promises to be just as good (with the exception of course, of not having my Juliefriend here). Incidentally, it's also the last week of classes for me until September, because in Scotland classes end before spring break (also called Easter Holiday), and at the end of the "official" holiday exams begin. Mine aren't until the second half of May, however, so while I will (of course) be studying, there will also be plenty of time for exploring (AND RIDING THE HARRY POTTER TRAIN OMG) and other fun things.
Also, look, it might actually be spring for real this time!
