Back to the Island

Well, here I go again. I flew out of OKC Monday afternoon and after one of the longest days ever we made it to Edinburgh and our hostel. We didn't have much energy left so we just grabbed a bite and watched some Olympics. Interestingly, enough it was Michael Phelps legendary 19 medal race. Pretty interesting also was the way British television covers the games. It is just so different compared to home and all. Then we called it a night at like 10:30 and I couldn't sleep so here I am blogging at 5 am Edinburgh time. It is really like 11 pm back home so makes sense but still would like to have had a little more sleep. Hoping that after breakfast I am able to nap until 8 or so. Otherwise we are off on a few walks today thru town and do a little exploring and tomorrow we are hoping to hit the highlands and lake lochness. Should be an interesting few days here! Apparently, a huge festival is starting on thursday and we made it just in time. The girl told me that last year there was some pretty outrageous events hosted and exhibits on display. I won't mention how crude some of them sounded considering this is on the web for all to see. But maybe I will have funny pictures later in the week. Okay, well time to hunt down something to do until breakfast.


Laters!

Back Again

So, I am back to writing in this thing for a short while. I am getting ready to head back to my second home. I am soooo excited!! I don't even know when I really realized that this was happening. That all my hard work and effort paid off and I am really going back. And what better time than the Olympics! I get to see a new city, Edinburgh and visit some of my favorites in summer, London and Paris. I am patiently counting the days until I fly out, which is 10 right now. I can't wait!!!! This is really going to be short just a little documentation of my travels. I hope to have amazing stories to tell again.
