Day 124: Aberdeen, Scotland - Warrington, England

So, today was another adventurous day in Scotland.  Megan and I woke up at around 8:30, a little later than planned, but not bad.  We left at around 10 to go on a trail of historic buildings in Old Aberdeen.  It took us about 90 minutes, and it was pretty interesting.  We saw some old buildings, churches, houses, and uni buildings.  It was alright weather, too, although there were a few minutes of rain, followed by about 60 seconds of intense snowfall.   

A rich person had these gates built by his rich people house.

This is King's College.

Bishop Elphinstone's tomb in front of the chapel at King's College.

This is a garden in Old Aberdeen, whilst it was snowing.

The old town hall.  The pillar in the front is the remain of the market cross, a stone cross that marked the market area, and was the focal point of the city.

St. Machar's Cathedral, and its cemetery. 

Some stained glass.

Seaton Park on the north end of Old Aberdeen.

After our walk, we headed to her house, and had left-over Chinese food for lunch.  It was good and already paid for.  At around 12:30, we left for the station,.  I got my ticket and said bye to Megan.  Things didn't always go incredibly smoothly, but I had a great stay in Scotland.  I’d love to try it in the summer.  Travel today was a bit of a mess.  I got to Edinburgh fine, but my train from there to Carlisle was cancelled, and I ended up on a bus.  It took like 3 hours. :/ I finally made it though, and now I am on my train to Warrington.  The weather was great while I was on the train(of course), but I did get to see some beautiful countryside. 

This is the coast.

This is the other side. Of the train.

Lots o' farmland here.

Stuff is green here.  Despite the frigid arctic air.

 I have had a nice evening since I arrived.  Danny and I got some fish and chips and now we're just hanging out watching British tele.

Fish, chips, Danny.

It is so weird that I am here again, where I started my trip.  And where I’m ending it.  I can’t believe that after  124 days in Europe, I only have 4 left.  I am not at all excited about getting back to the States.  Here’s to 4 great days in England!
