Edinburgh

Hi All,

I arrived in Edinburgh the day before yesterday, and so far have adjusted to the time fairly well. Wed. was spent arriving and waiting for a bag that never showed up, then dealing with the lost baggage people (none to helpful). Then walking around a bit and getting a drink. We did go by and see where my friend Megan works at the university, then coming back to her flat and making dinner and going to bed.

Yesterday we met up with my travel buddy Heather's friends from Ireland and did a walking tour of the city. The whole experience was nice, and we got a personalized history of St. Giles Cathedral. We have had really good luck with the weather as it has been sunny and nice. I also spent a bit of time working on the luggage situation. Still lost but I'm supposed to have hope that my luggage will arrive today. Apparently it had a nice trip to sunny Madrid Spain then got sent back to JFK where it may or may not have gotten on the plane to Edinburgh. I was also informed that the maximum amount I can get for my inconvenience is $25, which is about £12. Blurg.

Outside of the luggage problems it has been a good trip so far. Woo Hoo!
