Saint Andrews, Scotland

Last night a group of friends got together and we adventured to the movie theaters. We broke off into two groups and I was in the group that watched “The Danish Girl.” I really enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to a friend. My favorite parts were when they would pan to different scenic areas of Europe and just show off how beautiful this continent is. We ended the night by getting DEESERTS. What a place. The waffles, ice cream, and cookie dough were incredible:

Shoshana found the food so beautiful, it almost brought her to tears.

Emily wondering how any other chocolate cake would ever compare to this one.

Today we took a tour to Saint Andrews. It was beautiful. It is a little city about two hours away and it was incredible.

Our first stop was at the Kelpies. According to the internet the Kelpies are:

“one of the largest equine sculptures in the world, standing 30 metres (100 feet) tall. They are the landmark feature of The Helix Environmental Regeneration Scheme on the Forth and Clyde Canal near Falkirk on Central Scotland. They are the brain-child of sculptor Andy Scott, and will be the largest public artworks in Scotland.”

They were huge and they were beautiful.

Then we stopped at a bridge called the Fourth Bridge.

One day I want to live in a city like this. It is near the sea, close to a large city, cute, and peaceful.

The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge over the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, 9 miles west of Edinburgh City Centre. It is considered an iconic structure and a symbol of Scotland, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Yes. I did walk in the puddles. Yes. My feet got wet. I made that choice, and I lived with the consequences for the rest of the day.

Then we ended the day at the beautiful city of Saint Andrews. The city is primarily known for its university. It is also the city where Prince William and his lovely wife, Kate met. I was secretly hoping to run into my own Prince Charming, but alas term doesn’t start until next week. We walked around the city, saw the university, climbed into the sea, and I was taught how to play darts by a Scottish man named Scott.
