Week 1: Edinburgh!!

Wow, my first week in Edinburgh... I don't know where to begin! My flights were long, about 14 hours in total, but worth every minute. Edinburgh is so beautiful and green and the people are so nice here. 

There are so many fun facts I have been learning about this magical city, such as: the national animal is a Unicorn!    Below are some pictures of the royal unicorn.

  

 I also learned that there are 210 churches in Edinburgh and 2 cathedrals. Which isn't surprising since the towns motto is "Nisi Dominus Frustra" meaning: except the Lord in vail (Psalm 127) 

        This is a picture of the motto from the Grassmarket. 

 

This week we covered a lot of ground. I hiked Author's Seat, went shopping and exploring Stockbridge market, we went to the Highlands and looked for Nessie and also explored the ruins of Urqhart Castle
