Saint Andrews: Visiting the closest thing I have to sisters

On Sunday, Lexi and I made a trip from Edinburgh to Saint Andrews. Once we figured out what train to take it was actually really easy to get there and it was beautiful. There was snow on the ground and it was quite cold but sunny. We were extremely lucky with the Scotland weather, in general.

Hannah Korn and me by the ugly library!


Adjusted for height. So necessary, haha.



Sarah and me on the steps of the ugly library. She took some time off writing her dissertation (wowzers!) to get lunch with us.


Hannah and Lexi, look out! Don't step on it! Some famous Scottish dude died here!


Old church graveyard. It was late afternoon so the sun was going down and the shadows were beautiful.


Lexi looking wistful in the graveyard.


After walking through the graveyard we went along the sea wall, where you could see these castle ruins without having to pay to walk up close to them. What you see is what you get with rocks, anyway. ;)

Hannah and Lexi on Saint A's famous golf course. This green is like world renown among golfers for reasons non-golfers like me wouldn't understand.


Here we are all out at dinner in a cute little French café. It was so nice to catch up!

After dinner, Lexi and I had to take a taxi back to the train station to catch our train because the buses weren't running as often anymore. Scotland shuts down on Sunday nights. We made it back to Edinburgh and back to Lydia's flat fine though and spent the evening trying to get reading done and mostly failing. Instead, Lydia and I skyped Neil and watched How I Met Your Mother, which was way better than homework anyway.
