the road less traveled (and the mountain to which it lead)

We did it! It was a long and at times tiring trek, but in just an hour's time we made it to the very top of Arthur's Seat. Alyssa chose a sensible dress and took many a dig, but there was not a complaint heard and we were so proud after all nearly dying on the way down. (who would have thought that the path would be so rocky and steep?! on a mountain?! unheard of.) But the view was incredible- you could see the entire city, and couldn't tell where the ocean met the sky.  It was a glorious day- the perfect morning for such an adventure- clear and breezy. I even convinced everyone to join me in a self-timer photo (just for you mom!)

We had a picnic lunch on our campus and heard some very mediocre ABBA karaoke going on nearby. We're going out again with our friends tonight, so most of us decided to take the day of and rest (and to give our poor legs a bit of a break!)

PS- less than 400 views until I hit my goal of 1,000 before I get home (thanks Robert ;) )



Cheers!
