Travels and Visitors

It has been so busy around here, in the best possible way!  Two weeks ago, I flew to Florence for a long weekend with Aunt Sue, Toby, Laura, John, Tom and Shawna.  Florence was stunning:  it was warm and sunny and filled with gorgeous narrow streets and beautiful piazzas.  It was so fantastic to get to see family, too!  We stayed in a really lovely apartment, right in the middle of Florence.  We went marketing and window-shopping and walked all over the city.  I saw the Uffizi, which was really amazing and Pitti Palace's gardens and the Duomo, too.  Really just strolling through the city is like being in an art museum.






I would never have left Florence if not for Becky's visit.  One day after I got back to Scotland, Becky came to visit for three days.  She booked a layover on the way to Thailand!  We had a fantastic visit, working a bit and hanging around St. Andrew's.  She got to revisit some of her favorites in St. Andrews, like the chip shop, and we went to Eurovision party!!!  It was so much fun to have her here, I don't think I've giggled so much in ages!  I think Becks has all the photos, but here's proof that she was here.

Next it will be my family here and then Erica!!! Can't wait.
