Last Stop Edinburgh

Today I will keep it short and sweet. We are coming to the end and losing a bit of steam, but still very excited to arrive in Edinburgh. We left Aberdeen around 9 am and made our way South. School #11 is the University of Edinburgh. I visited here in 2001 when I was a study abroad student but also have great memories of sending students there through the Study Abroad Foundation. It was a bit surreal to pull up to "Pollock Halls" where I'd previously arranged to house my SAF students.

After lunch time we checked in to our rooms (which were thankfully well-appointed) and had a bit of a rest before cleaning up for dinner. Some of the group took the down time as the chance to get out into the city. We are here during a really exciting time. Edinburgh hosts an international fringe festival every August. http://www.edfringe.com

Dinner was at the Royal Society of Edinburgh, hosted by both the Royal Society and the University of Edinburgh. Peter would be jealous to know we had lamb. I did not take any photos of anything today, for which I apologize. I think it is a sign of just how tired I am.  Everything has been spectacular but I just did not keep up with my photojournalism :-)

Tomorrow starts our sessions with Edinburgh. I have a feeling they are going to do a really wonderful job and live up to their reputation.  I'll try to get some shots for tomorrow's post.
