After 15 hours of travel, laying over in Iceland, I finally made it to Scotland! From the driving on the opposite side of the road, to the accents, to the beautiful snowy country side, I'm taking it all in for the next week I have here! I'm loving it all so far! Christmas has been such a fun time to visit! The snow and the decorations all around the towns looks so pretty.

Why did I choose Scotland? Well, when I lived in China I became very close to my friend Chloe, who is a native Scot. Looking back, I would have never imagined myself here, visiting her two and half years later!
Yesterday and today, we spent the days in Lanark and New Lanark! New Lanark is a very old Mill Town, where they have set ups of old houses, school rooms, and of course they have the water mill! It was such a pretty (and cold!) day.

For lunch we ate macaroni pie and scones! Many people think that scones are from England, but that actually originate in Scotland! Anyways, every bit of food I have had here has been absolutely wonderful! I'm afraid all the weight I lost in Costa Rica will be gained right back :D
Tomorrow is my biirrthhdaayyy! We will be going into Glasgow for some shopping! For dinner Ms. Cassells is going to make me her oh-so-delicious STEW! I loved it so much in China I ate it for breakfast! Afterwards I think we are going out, to a famous bar called Soul Suite with some friends! It shall be a good birthday!
Tata for now!
