Giant Shannon Fruit






Rachel(the new roomsie) and I woke up late and headed over to the Museum of Scotland. I have been there before but it's so huge, there was a lot I missed the first time. One of the main exhibits was the Lewis Chessmen. The Lewis Chessmen, which are chess pieces craved out of walrus irovy from the 12th century. They were all different cute little characters. It was pretty cool. A replica of the set was even in Harry Potter!! Also, the museum had lots of historical pieces,etc. After walking around the museum for awhile we headed across the street to the Grey Friar Bobby cemetery. It was beautiful, the gravestones where so elaborate. Some of the graves even had little courtyards. We went to Tescos and made some dinner and then watched the final world cup game. Viva la Spain!
