Reunited and It Feels so Good!

This past Saturday my long lost Au Pair pal finally made it across the pond to Scotland as well. It was so much fun spending the weekend with one of my very best friends. We spent all of Sunday wandering around this amazing, gorgeous, historic city soaking up every moment.

As we wandered down to the City Centre (luckily only about a mile from my flat), we noticed this amazing park across from all the shops. The Princes Street Gardens are full of beautiful landscapes and had the best view of the Old Town.

After wandering up through the Old town and visiting The Elephant House, where JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter, we realized we had grown a heavy appetite. We stumbled upon at beautiful old pub and decided to indulge in our favorite type of food: Steak pies, potatoes and plenty of gravy.

It was such a nice weekend and I was sad to see my pally head up to Stirling for school on Monday but so glad we could have a relaxing reunion.

Below are a few more snaps from our wanderings (click to enlarge).
