The past 3 days...

Hallo!

Sorry I couldnt post last night but there wasnt any internet at the ROMAN FORT we were STAYing in. Anyway... after leaving pithlochry, we drove south to Scone palace, the crowning place of many scottish kings. Uhm, it was huge. And people still live there which I find hard to believe. Then we drove on to the wonderfully loud town of Edinburgh where i was rudely awoken at 3 am by a drunken partier singing in the street. The next day we went to Edinburgh castle which is truly the biggest castle i have ever seen. Its up on a cliff, there is only one angle that it can be attacked from and it covers like the entire cliff. I never really realised it but the Scots were all about war. thats like all they did. Anyway, after that we strolled down to royal mile to Hollyrude palace before leaving the citz. Then we drove to Eyemouth village cuz i play a fiddle tune from there. it was really cool to see small town scotland. then we finished driving to Hadrians wall where we stayed in a farmhouse built on top of the ruins of an old roman fort with other ruins surrounding it. Then we drove all daz to get here in Wales were we met up with Lauren Crosby of all people. 2morrow were going to church, a visitor picnic, then off to Bath England.

TTYL!

  1. Wow! You must have had wonderful views from the windows in the farmhouse!

    I just googled a picture of Edinburgh Castle and it is ginormous! It looks more like a small town than a castle.

  2. That is pretty amazing that people live in Scone palace still. Sounds like it would actually be a pretty cool place to live.

    At church today, we prayed for the UK which I thoguht was cool since you guys went to the church in Wales today. :) And we also got your thank you note, Chris. Hannah was your messenger and delievered it to us safe and sound.

    But I'm glad you're having a good time and seeing all these amazing castles and such!

  3. Wow, do you get to stay in cool places. Chris, I'm very curious to know what song this drunk bloke was singing at 3 in the morning. And I thought it was cool, too, that we were praying for the UK yesterday in church. Miss you guys!
