St. Andrews & Parents

Hey Everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I posted, but in the next few posts, you'll see why. I've been very busy between a visit from my parents, getting sick, weekend trips all over the UK, o... and work.

My parents visited the first week in November. I got sick not long after they arrived, so I wasn't too much fun, but we went on a trip to St. Andrews one day anyway.



The weather was pretty crappy, but that didn't stop us from exploring the small city. There are a lot of picturesque areas in St. Andrews.



The most notable attraction in St. Andrews is the world-famous golf course. You can see the 18th fairway and the old clubhouse behind the golfers.


...and the most famous part of the golf course is this tiny, old bridge. The golf course is publicly-owned, so they have no problem with visitors walking right onto the course and taking pictures.



This was a cathedral that is now pretty much destroyed - still a great photo spot thought! After this, we got some food at a really neat little place in town and went back to Edinburgh.



It was great having my parents here for a bit - they got to see a lot of the sights - and they were a big help picking things up for me while I was sick. Also I got to go to a lot of places that I probably wouldn't have been to on my own. On their last night, they took me for a "Hot Tottie" a drink with cinnamon, lemon, cloves, honey, and of course: whiskey. It was pretty terrible, but they enjoyed them!

I'll have more posts later this week about my adventures in Fort William and my trip to London this past weekend.
