Day 123: Aberdeen, Scotland

Today I didn't to anything.  This may seem stupid, because I am in Scotland, and you are correct.  But what had happened was... I woke up at like 10--not so bad, right? But I felt a little puny, so I went back to sleep, and woke up at like noon.  I felt like this was a good decision, because I felt much better, and I still had time to go explore Aberdeen for a few hours before Megan got home. I took a shower, and this is when disaster struck.  Maybe not disaster, but my plans were totally scuppered.  Look it up. 

Whilst showering, I slipped, and busted my shin, and spent the next hour pressing star and Texas shaped ice cubes to my leg.  WARNING: The following image is graphic, and potentially disturbing.  Not really.  But I guess it's kinda gross. 

My shin, Round Midnight.

My plan had been to walk around the city center a bit, but I just had some toast.  I practiced for a bit, and it was going really badly, and Megan's friend Will came over.  She was taking him to the airport, so he was here to meet her.  Megan came a bit later, and the three of us chatted for a while.  Will is a nice guy, and we had a good conversation.  At around 5, they left for the airport, and I practiced for a while.  It was still really bad.  At around 5: 30, Jayna met me at Megan's and we went to Pizza Express for dinner.  I got a decent mozzarella and tomato salad and an alright pizza.  (Tu me manque, France.) I did however, have a fantastic tiramisu for dessert.  Megan met up with us during dessert, and we had coffee and stuff.

This was ok.  The corner looks mashed up because I took a bite out of it, but then I put it back to take this pic.

After dinner, we went to some bars for some drinks.  No fewer than three strangers offered to buy us drinks.  People here are really nice.  We played darts with this guy we met named Paul, and some other guy we met named Gavin.  And Jayna's bf, John.  It was fun. 

This is Megan and Jayna at the old man bar they go to.  We were the only people under 40, and they were the only girls.  It was a nice place though.

Another weird day today, but it was alright.  Hopefully I can see a bit of Aberdeen tomorrow before I leave.
