Day 2 in Scotland

Hey everyone!!!!

This is my 2nd day in Scotland! Today we had class in the morning and then went right off to visit Edinburgh Castle.  The first hour of our day Edinburgh was fine, but then the winds picked up big time! I could swear the temp dropped 20 degrees. The wind was so strong that it would start pushing you around. On top of that it started hailing! Hailing... in January! It stayed pretty windy for the rest of the day with a few sprinkle showers here and there.

So about two hours ago, after walking around Edinburgh and having dinner, we decided to head back to Dalkeith Palace. Here comes the fun part, we thought the bus we were taking back, would take us back to where it picked us up.... Not true, not true at all! Right as we thought the bus was heading back to Dalkeith the bus driver came up to us and told us "This is the final stop, you have to get off now". So we were forced to get off and right as we were heading to catch the other '3' bus it drove right past the bus stop! I mean, really dude!? Apparently us standing at the bus stop waiting for him wasn't good enough for him. So we had to walk for a bit until we found another bus stop. So about half an hour later we found a bus stop and FINALLY got back to the Dalkeith. It was not a fun experience at all, cold+windy+nighttime+country you've never been to before= NOT COOL!!!

Anyways, that was today's adventure! Much more to come!

Boarding!

Hey everyone!

So I'm sitting at the airport waiting to board my flight to Edinburgh! I'm so excited!!! The group I'm traveling with is staying at the Dalekeith Palace for 2 weeks! Yeah, we're staying in a palace. It's going to be pretty amazing! Well I gotta go for now, it's time to board my flight!

Adios America! See you in 3 months!

3 More Days!!!

Hey everyone!

3 more days until I head off to Europe!!! I'm so excited! Traveling has always been a passion of mine and now I get to spend 3 whole months studying abroad in Europe! I'm traveling with a group from school called International Traveling Classroom (ITC for short). We will be traveling to 7 different cities: Edinburgh, Scotland; London, England; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Paris, France; Freiburg, Germany; Verona, Italy; and Vienna, Austria. We also have free travel in between each city we travel to, so we can go to whatever country/city we please. It's going to be an adventure of a lifetime!

I will try to post the adventures I'd taken that day, everyday if possible. The Wi-Fi in Europe can be very spotty, so there are no guarantees, but I'll make up for the missed days the next time I get good Wi-Fi.

I'm looking forward to sharing my adventures with all of you!
