Hey!

So the last couple of days have been busy and kinda a blur.  I’ll get into the short of it.

Tuesday I had another walk day, went all over George Street, Prince Street and Queens Street.  I walked through some Posh living areas and generally just kinda enjoyed the city.  At night I spent the evening here, at bar on campus just veg’ing a few hours before bedtime.

Wednesday I spent with Annabel, we walked through the city went shopping all over.  Went to a bunch of music stores, I got to meet a gentleman whom she used to work for who owns a t-shirt shop near Hunter Square.  We purchased some picnicy foods (sandwiches, pops).  We also bought a _ton_ of chocolate which mostly we didn’t finish, some is going on the airplane ride with me tomorrow and picnic’d at the Walter Scott monument.  We finally saw Kung Fu Panda and it was fun.  Snogging in the theatre is more fun.  Oh they have sweet popcorn as well as salted, and apparently don’t use butter.  The sweet popcorn is really really good.  That night we went to Whisky Binkies, The Hive (it’s a venue and we went early so we stayed a few minutes and left) and Nichol Edwards (the most haunted pub in Edinburgh, which is a very haunted city).  I tried some new Scottish whisky’s and drank vodka cokes most of the night.  Most of the early evening was spent at Binkies, then a break to get some chippies at Clam Shell, which were most awesome with the chippy sauce.  We ate those on Hunter Square, which is an elevated outside area near all the pubs and bars out there (pubs in Scotland are like our normal bars, bars here are like our clubs with bands or dancing, etc…  Bars are open later than pubs for the most part).  We went back to Biskies and drank more, snogged more, then ended up heading to Nichol Edwards.  Whoa, spooky bar, lots of cemented in walls, looks like a dungeon inside.  After that, we ended up heading home, Bel txt’d me later that night admitting she ate all my Chocolate Buttons (she had the sweets in her purse).  Hee.

Today was awesome as well, albeit more centralized, first we went to Gregg’s and bought a ton of yummy food.  Fudge Donut, Vanilla Slice, French Fancy, Cheese and Macaroni Pie, Cheese and Onion Pasty.  MMMMMMM good stuff.  We spent the morning/afternoon at The Meadows close to the dorm and just picnic’d all day, played DS and just relaxed with each other.  I’ve posted pics from all three days but haven’t realigned or labeled properly.  I’ll wait until I’m in Germany to properly do this.

This was the best time I’ve had, I’ve been IM’ing with bel since I got back to the uni.  It’s the most awesome being with her.
