Just for your information, moving to another country by yourself is horribly emotionally difficult. Yesterday was a shit day. But today Edinburgh tried its best to make up for that. I had a pot of tea in what will hopefully become my regular tea house. I got a frequent “loyalTEA” card with extra stamps (because it was my first time). I sat inside an old cathedral, walked without using a map… I slowly started to love Edinburgh as I sat on a grassy hill in Princes Street Gardens, looking at the castle I have only been looking at in pictures for months.
I stopped to watch a man in a black kilt juggle knives on the Royal Mile, and read a book in a park by my flat where dogs were running around, kids played soccer, and moms walked their children home from school with their oversized backpacks. Thanks, Edinburgh- I forgive you for yesterday. Please continue to show off for me everyday from now on, because I still don’t like this being alone thing. Maybe next time I’m in Princes Street Gardens, make me buy some ice cream from the cart. That might just fix everything.

Oh good! I’m glad Edinburgh is beginning to show you its beauty and happiness. See, you just need time and patience and everything will start coming together…you’ll see. Read your e-mail!
Hey!
Like the picture. I know what you mean, being alone for a little while at first makes me nervous and I haven’t left yet!
I’m due to leave next week actually, so very soon!
You’ll be fine, just think of the cool new people you’ll be meeting soon!
Take care
Loved your commentary. It was like a narrative to a movie scene.
You know when the camara pans the landscape and the main character is describing the story. Yeah, just like that.
Happy to hear you made it and all is well.
Cheers! (do they say that in Scotland?)
