Edinburgh, Scotland


Another view of Edinburgh from the Castle Walls

On Friday, after our visits to Abbey Road and Portobello Road, eight students and Prof. Wolfe took a train to Scotland for the weekend. It was an adventure, the train broke down and all nine of us shared a room at the Hostel on the Royal Mile, but it was an amazing experience for everyone. We visited Edinburgh Castle and took a tour bus aroudn the city of Edinburgh. We then shopped and enjoyed a few lovely meals together. Before heading back to London on Sunday afternoon, we ran into Dr. Marchesani's class who are also in Scotland (but they're heading home on Thursday the 24th). We arrived back on the campus at Regent's around 7 pm and unpacked and relaxed for the rest of the night.

Six of the seven students who did not go on the Scotland trip remained in London and continued to explore the city and just enjoy their time together. One student went to Portugal for the weekend in order to visit her family.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their various weekends and are excited to continue seeing the sights and enjoying London.
