Goodbye Edinburgh!

Edinburgh has been great fun, it’s a really interesting city and has a lot going on. It’s the second largest city in the United Kingdom after London, but all of the neighborhoods make it feel like a small city when you’re walking around. The history here is fantastic, and I’ve really enjoyed learning about what I can while I’m here – it’s all new to me and there’s lots to take in!

My stay at the Abbey Hotel was good, it’s up a hill a bit but it’s centrally located between the old and new towns of Edinburgh.

I met some great people while I was here, Jim, a fellow from Musselburgh was very kind and invited me to come along with him and two of his other friends last night to The Stand Comedy Club – that was great fun, stand up comedians from Scotland and Ireland – a real local treat! Thanks to Jim and Steven for showing me around, and I’m afraid I don’t remember the other fellows name – but thanks!

Barcelone!

I’m writing this from the RENFE train waiting to leave the Barcelona airport to Plaça de Garcia, from there I’ll take another trail to Liceu station near my hotel. So far so good! The flights went quickly – the first was a bit cramped but not horrible. I sat next to a man from a border town north of Madrid who was coming home for the holidays, from working up in Vancouver. He was great to talk to a he knew his way around the Charles de Galle airport, and we both had to be rushed to our connections with about 20 others becuse of the delayed flight. We made it though!
Now to find my hotel – and maybe a map – and then some lunch!

Here’s a picture from the RENFE train.
