So last night's sleep wasn't great, thank you obnoxious drunk people (sadly americans). Doesn't matter. Today is the day we are seeing Harry Potter. So we got up and made our way to the cinema, passing along the base of Edinburgh Castle on the way. We arrived at the theatre just a few moments before it opened. There was a surprisingly large amount of people there for 9:30 on a Friday morning. The theme music was playing in the lobby and there were Harry Potter ...

I spent the morning packing and doing some more research for Edinburgh. I'm very excited to be going. Fred was in London today covering William and Kate's engagement but we were unable to meet since I was leaving before dinner time, and he was only here for the day. Ellie, Dawn and I made our way to the train station for a 5:30 train. I had to sit on a fold down seat for a little while before I could take an empty reserved seat but it was fine.

There was a stage with a variety of performers (british people we didn't know), some stalls set up with food and crafts, a place for kids to see Santa and many of the stores had sales and served ...

It was all very int...

So I woke up early even though I was exhausted from all the traveling yesterday. Luckily class today was a lecture so I didn't have to run all over London for 3 hours. The lecture today was about the iron age and the turn of the century (19th-20th). It was pretty interesting and at this point I am able to recognize or know where a large portion of the buildings are that he talks about. After class I picked up some much needed groceries (I had used up all my fo...
