Finally we have an afternoon where we don't have anything to DO after class and I can sit and update you all. I took the afternoon to climb Calton Hill, which afforded me a beautiful view of Edinburgh. It was so lovely to just stand up there and look out over the city and the bay. I loved having the chance to just wander around on my own. I spend so much time in my little part of Edinburgh, that I don't feel like I get out very much. Right now I'm back at "my" pub up the hill from my apartment enjoying my turkey burger & salad. I love that they have free WiFi & they are starting to recognize me. I like that. I like Edinburgh better when I'm not with a herd of law students - who incidentally act like loud, crazy Americans. I really feel it when we're in a group and then people assume that we are all the same. Yikes. I feel closer to the city when I'm out in it on my own and wandering around. It's awesome then. Perhaps we, as Americans, are less insane and intimidating one at a time as opposed to a massive group!!
They are keeping us really busy for class. Tomorrow we are going to Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument, and Loch Katrine. I'm really looking forward to the trip, my only hope is that the weather holds out - the weather has been cruddy most days. Today it's lovely, though!!! The trip should be great, I think that is a fabulous way to spend a school day.
I've decided that I love tea - I'm rapidly becoming a convert. I'm drinking loads of it. We'll see - Austria is much more a coffee country, but I love coffee too.
OH - and I'd be in GENEVA in January - not Berlin - if I go. My bad. I don't know why I got all turned around. But Geneva is awesome too!! That isn't on my list of places to visit, so may as well add it!!!

Rebecca, talk about "herds of Americans" that is EXACTLY what I was telling you when I went on that bus tour to Switz/Austria. I LOVE that you've already discovered that feeling of adventure all on your own. That's why I wanted to be independent and explore on my own in Germany. I SOOOO wish I could come there to visit while you're traveling. I am still working on Christian to get his client in France to bring him over and I'll tag along! keep up the great posts!
