What a whirlwind the past month has been! I can’t believe we’ve already been to Edinburgh and back and are now launched fully into preparation for our big move in January. Time is going so quickly! But, before I get too far ahead of myself I wanted to share some more pics from our time in Scotland – and share some great news, we found a flat! J and I weren’t really expecting to find a place to live during our trip, mostly we were just hoping to find some neighborhoods that we liked. But, with the help of our gracious hosts (Katie and Derek also went to Regent, but we only overlapped one year. We’re so excited to get to know them better as we had such a GREAT time hanging out with them!) and an awesome email full of great tips from one of their friends we were able to find a home! It’s located at 9 Comely Bank Row and is in the heart of our favorite neighborhood in Edinburgh. I still have to pinch myself to make sure this really happened! Just to give you a taste of the neighborhood, within 1 block of our home is a wonderful organic, local grocer, a bead shop, an art store and a fair-trade tea house. Within 3 blocks of our new home is a great pub with food that actually tastes good, a beautiful park with a pond and walking paths, and the local football (soccer) stadium. Awesome. I am so excited to move in and really get to know the area! Unfortunately, J and I didn’t take any photos of our new flat, so you’ll just have to wait for those until January. But for now, here are some more pics from our time in Edinburgh and our new neighborhood.
