jihad.

i just got back to london from a little excursion to scotland. i absolutely loved edinburgh. we stayed in a hostel right off the royal mile, so we pretty much wandered around that area the whole time.



we went to a 'writers museum' and edinburgh castle. the castle was so cool because it was literally built from the mountain.

apparently our london sunbathing was short-lived because it got really cold and wet in scotland!
luckily i was able to purchase an XL edinburgh hoodie from "jihad" to keep me warm. not to mention he threw in this LOVELY magnet. i couldn't have asked for anything more!

we would get back to the hostel by 10 because apparently scotland at night is a little sketchy, so the basement was our little hang out. we were able to meet tons of people from all over the place. the bartender even gave us these mustaches to put pictures on their website.
we kind of loved it.

my favorite part of the entire trip was our visit to the scottish parliament. we had one of the 129 members who is LDS give us a pretty thorough tour of the place and teach us a ton. i loved learning about their system, and comparing it to the things i learned while interning in DC.
