Exploring Edinburgh

Hi Everyone! Today I explored Edinburgh, bought a phone and a blow dryer and met some of the kids that are doing the program with me. Most of the students in the program were stuck in London Heathrow airport because of the snow. It hasn't snowed all that much here but I guess it is the most snow they have had since 1991. I would say it snowed about 2 1/2 or 3 inches in Edinburgh but London got about a foot of snow and it is all anyone can talk about! There are about 11 of us Butler students here at the moment and the 37 others are stuck in London, but they should be arriving here tomorrow late in the day (we hope). Exploring Edinburgh was really great and I was able to use my experience later to help the others here get a phone. Some of the students have been traveling around Europe for a week or two but most of us just got here last night or this morning. Everyone is really nice and there is even a girl here who is my year at Vassar! While we didn't really know eachother we know the same people and kind of know of eachother so this should give us a chance to get to know eachother. I took some great pictures of Edinburgh while exploring and look forward to taking some more in St. Andrews! Tonight all the students that are here are going out to a pub in just a bit (Meredith-the 3 sisters pub is right across the street from our hotel!) so that should be fun and I will have to inform you of our adventures tonight tomorrow!
