Happy Super-Bowl Sunday!

Also, happy belated Groundhog Day...

Both Groundhog Day and Superbowl Sunday are things that are significantly less popular here in England. In fact, I don't think there are very many people here who even know what Groundhog Day is, unless they've seen the movie. Oh well. I for one am still interested in whether or not Wiarton Willie saw his shadow on Friday. Although I can't remember whether that means there are six weeks left of Winter or what.

It is quite amazing to me that we have already made it to February. Our trip is only a week away, and I can't wait! Should be interesting to see how we do in our first journey to the continent and to a non-English speaking country. I'll let you know how it goes!

Here are some select pictures from last week-end in Edinburgh. Enjoy!
















Me after climbing to the top of this......





















Arthur's Seat: the highest point in Edinburgh. It is actually taller than it looks in this picture.














The National Gallery, which contains paintings by Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Raphael, El Greco and Rembrandt, among others.





















The Castle, as seen from the Princes St. Gardens.





















The outside of St. Giles' Kirk on the Royal Mile.





















I liked this picture from the inside of St. Giles' for some reason...
















Kim and I looking "scared" on our nighttime Ghost tour of Greyfriars cemetery.
















The three travelling companions - we obviously survived the tour!
