Welcome to Edinburgh!!!

The view out my window of Arthur's seat!!!! :)
My desk and closet!
My bed!!!

So I have arrived safely in Scotland with my mother, my grandmother and our 9 suitcases. Yup I said it 9, and all but 2 were mine :) Oh well! I got some very strange looks in the airport and in my defense 2 of the suitcases just held books :)

The flight went well. Nothing to exciting to report there, though the movie selection was quite good, the food was abysmal as always. Saying good bye to Peter was of course impossible and even after only being apart for 24 hours I miss him a lot. But luckily we will be back together in 2 weeks from today! In fact less then 2 weeks now!!!

For the last few days I have been fighting allergies and they have been relentless. That unfortunately made the plane trip difficult and I got no sleep! After flying through customs, we took a taxi from the airport to my flat! Its wonderful! And all of my flatmates are very nice! The flat is exactly what I expected and it is in a great location!

So after unpacking the millions of suitcases, I needed a nap desperately so I took one :) Mom and grandmother went exploring and ate lunch. After waking me up we all journeyed to find the grocery store! And you guessed it we got lost! Some how we completely over shot the street I was look for and ended up by the castle, which while not far is not close either!

We eventually found the Tesco's and proceeded to buy a lot of stuff! Since we had so much stuff we decided that a taxi would be better then the hike back to the apartment!

After putting the groceries away we headed out again! (For those of you who have never had jet lag if you stop moving you fall asleep so the idea was to stay busy! :)) This time we went in search of a Mark's and Spenzer's in order to find a curling iron for mom and grandmother. 3 stores later we had a curling iron for them and allergy medicine for me! All in all a very fruitful expedition!

When we got back I talked to my dad and took pictures of the apartment!

It is still very hard for me to believe that I am here after all this time, after all the planning. I am looking forward to my courses but I miss everyone so much! Hopefully things will settle down as time goes on! All I can do now is concentrate on the fact that I see Peter in 2 weeks! 5000 miles is so far away!

I love you Peter!
