Edinburgh


Is Mara mad?, originally uploaded by josh77anderson.
We took a long weekend in Edinburgh. Experienced all things Scottish...bagpipes, Scotch, St. Andrews, funny accents, and wonderful people.

There are many difficult and frustrating things about living in a foreign country...meeting all new friends, not knowing the customs, no peanut butter or dill pickles, banking, and being half a world from family.

The positives are wonderful though...lots of new learning experiences, tremendous opportunities for travel, becoming comfortable as a tourist, and reliying even more on each other as an immediate family.

Our girls are becoming good travellers and pretty comfortable going just about anywhere. We probably walked about five miles today, and Jeryn handled it like a champ. Probably much better than I did to be honest:). Mara made it most of the way without being carried. Not bad for being almost 3.

We miss you friends and family.  Here are a few picture highlights from our trip.
