Highlights: The weather! Beautiful, sunny, calm spring day–the warmest one since I have been here. Shopping: I waited to buy souvenirs until I had been to St. Andrews; if day 1-4 was all about sight seeing, today was all about shopping and since I had been so many places, I think I found some pretty [...]

What I loved about the day: everything! It was the best day–from the weather, the scenery, the history, the people–absolutely brilliant!

I am currently sitting in Deacon Brodie’s cafe while Katy Perry’s California Girls plays, eating a breakfast of slightly watery scrambled eggs, thick-cut bacon, and toast and savoring every sip of this steaming hot coffee. I left Minneapolis yesterday at [...]
