Seven & Eight

Day Seven - June 7th, 2010

Today the crew ventured out to visit the Fettercairn Scotch Whiskey Distilery. It was super interesting to see how everything is made and see the where the 40year old spirits are kept in the gorgeous oak barrels. After leaving, the entire group found a heard of cows along the fence and took advantage taking photos of them. I'm pretty proud of a few of the shots I got that are only centimeters from it's nose. Mom, do you want some cow photos in the bedroom because it seems that I see more cows than sheep so far?

Immediately after we drove to Edzell Castle which was home to some gorgeous peacocks and beautiful gardens. Mom, I did get one good photo of some sheep, but they are quite far away. After our first horrific supper(a refried bean like concoction) We headed to The Corn Exchange(restaurant/pub) to get our favorite nachos and have a few colas.


Day Eight - June 8th, 2010

Laundry day(and our first day without the obnoxious Illinois kids)! I never thought I would be so excited to do some laundry(and not have those creepy kids around). The whole idea of wearing the same exact plain clothing everyday is getting somewhat monotonous; shopping may be on the agenda one day. Lunch was corn pancakes with guacamole and another pureed potato soup. Since it was raining the teachers canceled our adventures for the day and instead we visited the art installation of Chicks on Speed at the Dundee Contemporary Arts. This definitely was not my style of art since it was a lot of videos of nude women who seemed to be on some crazy drugs. The only good part was visiting the AMAZING gallery store which had everything from kitchen products to jewlery to the best books ever! Two hours spent reading the books and we came back home and enjoyed the rainy day. Naps, Skyping, Supper(pasta and garlic bread), card games with the professors, and booking my next trip! I'll be in Dublin, Ireland in two days! Talk about a spur of the moment trip, but since we have two free days this week the professors encouraged us to take advantage of the cheap European flights so within an hour of talking about it Sarah, Amber, Christina, Justin, and I booked our flights! Well it is past 1:00am so I'm out. Goodnight family and friends!
