Scotland, MY NEW LOVE

Hello Friends. It has been too long. I am going to let you in on a little secret. I LOVE Scotland!
Last weekend 2 of my friends and i left for Edinburgh Friday morning. Also we slept in the airport thursday night to Friday, Gahd that was the best sleep ever... NOT! Anywho we arrived in Edinburgh at about 8 Am and took a bus to our hostile. As we were walking outside i glanced to my right and saw this huge beautiful castle up on the rocks!!! Can we talk about A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I basically decided that, that is my new house in the future. As we continued walking we saw more and more of the old town. It was so magnificent. That type of olden preserved style is my favorite. I am so happy they restored and kept most of the town the way it was back then.
Next we went on a free 4 hour walking tour!!! Pure Rompous! Our tour guide was from Chicago so we were able to understand her. She took us all around Edinburgh and told us the history and present. We saw the elephant Cafe where J.K. Rowling created and wrote Harry Potter. it was cool because if you walk around the cemetary you will find some of the names used in her books on the gravestones... Also we saw a wall made out of "Supposed" witches ashes!!! CREEPY! Also we learned about Friar Bobby. He was John Grays dog who was on watch with him. John Gray died and Friarbobby stood next to his grave for 12 years never leaving its side. TRUE STORY!! Gahd i Love animals so much and this story makes me love them even more! So that was pretty cool. That night(Friday) we met up with our new Australian friend, went out to eat, and hit up some scottish pubs and clubs! It was a blast!
Saturday morning we were off to Glasgow to meet mary, my grandmas pen pal of 60 years and her 41 year old son Robert. Mary is just the cutest thing ever, next to my 2 grandmas ofcourse! Her and Robert had lunch reserved for uus then took us on a walking tour of Glasgow. Robert worked in the tour industry for many ears so we had our own personal tour guide. Also for mary being 72 she kept up with us climbing the hills never complaining or needing to sit! What a champ. Then we headed to her home in Lanarkshire where Robert served us a 3 course elegant meal with white wine. We were in Heaven!! Also we had a nice warm shower and bed to sleep in. I have not been in an actual house for over a month. it was so nice. What really made the trip for me was when after dinner we looked through picture books till 1 a.m. in the morning of Mary and all my relatives. There were pictures of her holding me as a baby. Even pictures of her and her husband Robert with my relatives i never met because they passed aways before i was able to know them. It was so crazy and emotional. It is one of those moments that you never forget.
The next morning we went to some museums and the oldest house in Glasgow which dates to the 1400's-Now thats some old rompous!!! It was hard saying goodbye to Mary and Bill Because i consider them part of my family! We were off on our way back to Edinburgh- I was so pumped to see the castle again!
Sunday night we met up with some Scottish friends and went out to eat and then on a ghost tour!! it was so awesome. We climbed the hill and had a look of all the lights and city at night. it was perfect. Also we were told quite a creepy story that took place in 2004. if you ever want to know it, just ask... its totes creepy! Anywho then we wandered to some pubs and listened to live music ending our night by going to a 4 floor dance club called "Espionage" The next morning we hit up some museums and did a little window shopping-although i wish i couldve bouth everything!!! We flew back to Dublin late that night.
Overall i am in love with Scotland and its beauty... Ireland now has competition!!! SO if anyone is wanting to visit me... we should take a trip to Scotland. it is very cheap!!!! Wish you all could have traveled with me, but if you ever have a chance someday take my word and journey to Scotland.
I am missing everyone more and more. Happy Valentines Day. Tonight my neighbor Ryan made a huge nice dinner for us all! he is so sweet. I also attended a wine and cheese and chocolate party. It was so posh!!
I love you all! Stay in toch. I love hearing from you!!!
