Free Day!

Ok everyone I have been asked to post some pictures so here are 2 pictures. The building is the YWAM Seamill Base where I am staying and the other is the beach that is a 5 minute walk from the base itself :) Pretty huh?!

I have uploaded a lot more on my facebook page so if you can find me there you will see lots more of the area and of my fellow students :)

So yesterday was the start of our first weekend here in Scotland and it couldn't have come at a better time. Most of us were pretty burnt out from combos of jet lag, extreme-make our brains hurt-lectures, work duties, and meeting many new people...so to put it in simple terms we needed a break! A big group of us took the train to Glasgow yesterday morning to do some exploring and shopping. We broke into 2 groups at first and then after 1 store in the big city Kari (an awesome girl I've gotten to know here) and I split off from the big group to explore Glasgow on our own...and we had FUN! Between the two of us we found some amazing local stores and while shopping we got to sight-see all the gorgeous architecture throughout Glasgow :) Throughout the city there are tons of street performers who were all very talented. We saw a guy juggling flaming batons and a bunch of musicians...some playing bagpipes with an accompaniment of drums (it was so awesome!).

After a long day of shopping we decided that although we are in a different country and should probably explore the different food options, we really wanted some greasy delicious American food haha! We actually found a TGI Fridays!!! It was soooooo good lol! After that it was time to return "home" for lack of a better term. It was a great day and felt nice to get out for a bit.

Today is another free day before starting up again tomorrow. I have spent most of the day kicking back and reading Sarah's book, which I am almost done with :) Kari and I walked into the village a bit earlier to go to the Co-Op(grocery store) to pick up some juice and snacks. Missing all of you and I will write again as soon as I can...or when something profoundly interesting happens ;) Keep commenting please I love it!
