(this is the castle I found in Dublin, it was pretty cool)

Yep you read right, Im actually blogging again!  Its been a great great time in Scotland with Nick and Im loving it here.  It was great to see him again not to mention Edinburgh is absolutely beautiful!  We have seen a good amount, my favorite is just the countryside itself.  Everywhere you go its giant green rolling hills spotted with white sheep.  Unfortunately it is true, Katy did lose her camera the other night but we still have not lost hope.  To be positive, we still have all of my pictures (many of which are very similar) and Katy still has her first memory card, which has about her first 800 pictures or so.  But its still a real bummer.  The first day we arrived in Edinburgh we hung out with Kilt, and then got to meet a couple of his friends and watched some rugby, then went out to a couple of really neat bars.  The first was called the Standing Order and it was originally a bank so the inside was amazing and it was a really beautiful building.  The second was called Opal and it was really cool as well.  It was a real good time.  Tuesday was definitely the day of rest we needed.  Slept great, Katy had been off and on with a cold, and now I have it was well.  Luckily its just been a little bit of a runny nose, nothing that is affecting our trip at all.  We still managed to get out to town and look for Katy's camera.  We checked both The Standing Order, and Opal but didn't have any luck at either.  We then got some great Italian dinner and some desert which was amazing and headed home to relax back at the house.  Then Kilt and I took a drive for about 80 miles through the countryside.  Katy wasn't feel so hot so she stayed home and relaxed.  We drove all through the middle of nowhere in the countryside, blasted music and caught up, it was a great time.  Then today we got up around 11!  We couldnt believe we slept that much!  I woke up with a cat on one side of my head, a dog on the other side of my head, another cat on my chest, and another one on the couch next to my bed.  Im starting to get the feeling they like me.  But we got up and got going right away.  We first went to Roslyn Chapel, then to the Edinburgh Castle which was so awesome!  There was so much to see!  The Crown Jewels, the names of all the Scottish soldiers lost in WWI and WWII.  It was really something to see.  Then we had some great Chinese Buffet!  Kilt and I ate until we were sick, we then had to sprint 3 blocks for the bus so by the time we got on we were feeling it!  We then came back to the house and have been relaxing ever since!  Its been awesome to see Kilt and meet his family.  Were taking a train down to London tomorrow evening at 5:30.  Should be exciting!
