sea side and sea shells.


long over due...my adventure to st. andrews (that is a picture of Perth...haven't got one of St. Andrews yet)
quick bits and pieces.

-first 'official' date with mark- Rendezvous (little italian place) shared a ham panini while sitting on a bench hearing (it was late at night) the waves of the ocean! (unplanned but brilliant)
-went running on the beach and managed to run through the water barefoot, i believe it wa
s colder than lake superior by far.
-saw the original golf course! beautiful place, grandpa and dad would love it!
-most people seemed to have a dog and it walking itself...the common theme was not having a leash. Lily would not be allowed on the
streets of st. andrews.
-went to a small town called Perth, laughed a lot and saw random things such as these odd creatures on a railing (this is for mom and lauren). I saw sheep for the first time on the country side while on the bus.
Laughed a lot and danced in the streets!
-Mark and I developed this idea of searching for the best chocolate cake while being overseas. We have the top of the line cake of his mom and red lobster to set the bar, but we discovered a fabulous piece at a pizza place (of course...Italian) and well all i can say is mmmm. However the price of it for how small it was really put it in lower ranks. So when we find the best we are going to the baker and hi-fiving him :)
-Also experienced my fir
st church service in Scotland and it was amazing! They gave us coffee/tea and if you wanted one a biscuit (cookie)!

odds and ends...
the 'care' cafe there: right now its Couch...don'
t know another one.
gummies+taxi=much fun and a luxury

self check outs here don't like americans

a thing learned: let go of plans and just live the days for moments to happen!
a laugh: i saw this tree in Perth and if you look closely you can see a naked fat little 'tree man' trying to get in to the tree...yes that is my imagination!
