An American/Scottish/Irish Weekend
Posted by Kalie on November 14, 2009
Last weekend I had my first visitor, Lindsey! It’s complicated to explain how we know each other. Saying it the long way, she’s my sister’s friend’s husband’s little sister…but I suppose we’ll just stick with ‘friend’ for now. She is from Minnesota, but is studying in Dublin, Ireland for the year. She arrived at the […]

English Gentleman
Posted by Kalie on November 13, 2009
I had an encounter with the nicest chap from London last week. It ended with a free cab ride to the airport… My goal was to make it to the airport by 4pm to meet a friend who came to visit. It got to be 2:30 and I decided I should probably start getting ready […]

I broke in my new wellies today and tested them by walking in the rain and jumping in puddles – they work! I love wearing wellies in Scotland! 😀

A Wee Moment – November 2
Posted by Kalie on
Today was the first day ever that I tasted a coffee drink I actually liked! Sandy gave me a drink mix from Hong Kong that was a special blend of tea and coffee. It was absolutely amazing! Even though I love the smell of coffee, and at one time even wanted to own a coffee […]

Halloween in Aberdeen
Posted by Kalie on
Halloween lived up to its scary reputation as I attempted to celebrate the holiday in Aberdeen… Nicki, Pauline, Joanna, and I got ready to go out for the night. None of them had celebrated Halloween before and were very excited! I dressed up as a “cereal killer” (small boxes of cereal fastened to my belt […]
