4th of July High!

On the 4th of July, Angela and I were asked by Donald and Mairi Forsyth (our landlords and members of Buccleuch) to climb Arthur's Seat - an extinct volcanic rock approximately 825 ft. It is the highest peak in Edinburgh and provides the best panoramic view of the city. It is less than 10 minutes from our flat to boot!

Well, like a typical Scottish evening, it was overcast and extremely foggy. Nevertheless, we made the trek up the famous crag. Due to the fog, the city below, with all its hustle and bustle, was completely masked from our sight. But when we got to the top, Mairi surprised us when she pulled out two American flags, sparklers, and oreos (the quintessential American 'biscuit')! Here are a few pics of our 4th of July high.
