Scotland Reflection

The train ride to Scotland was gorgeous (even if i was asleep half the time). There really were rolling bright green grassy hills-with sheep! I had never really seen images of a city setting in Scotland so I was surprised when I saw Edinburgh. It looked and seemed like London except instead of a trendy "rocker" style everyone had a really chill hippy style. All the buildings looked much older too but I REALLY liked it. The contrast between the busy modern city set in these old buildings was lovely. I had a great deal of trouble finding my hostel though, I went to the wrong one at first and then I couldn't figure out what bus I needed to take so I took a taxi. Everyone I met at Argyle Backpackers was really kind and genuinely cared for each other. It was the complete opposite of clink, although I absolutely fell in love with clink. Scotland seemed to bring me a great deal of bad luck though and I spent most of my time trying to straighten out my passport and visa situation. I cooked 6 people breakfast burritos for dinner on my last night. Walking around Scotland everything felt so fresh. The air was so nice; I couldn't get enough! Despite the cold there were daffodils EVERYWHERE! The castle fascinated me, I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped when I saw it. I even saw people in kilts! I kind of wish I had more time to explore since I didn't get to see much of the country side, none actually, except the train ride. However, things needed to be taken care of and I missed London so much anyway!
