the first time i ran away

scotland, the last trip of my spring break. 

flew, with katlin, north. we stayed with her family friend who was the most accommodating and high energy hostess that made us feel so at home. 

over the course of four days we got to the know the town of edinburgh by driving through its streets, stopping in its shops, napping in its parks, tasting local cuisine, getting lost in its side streets, indulging in its jazz talent, and hiking up arthur's seat to peek at everything we'd been surrounded by. 

maybe the best part though, was my surprised eyes when we discovered the highlands.

so here, some digs of what we saw.

lots of mountains, lots of clouds, lots of salty water.

the north sea

the cutest yak i ever did see. also the only yak i've ever seen.

everything was beautiful

we're just gonna walk through the highlands!

first ones to get off the bus, last ones to get back on

loch ness

we found nessie

a middle aged couple holding fingers. love is pretty special.

gifted sunflower seeds planted. maybe they will be beautiful and strong someday.
