Hey! This summer I traded in my flip flops and beach tag for a kilt. Instead of Jersey, I got a great opportunity in Edinburgh, Scotland! Although, I will miss the shore,my friends and family the next 3 months should be an adventure to never forget. ta-ta :)

Television, telephone, video cassette recorder, finger printing, home of golf, tarmacadam, tyres are penicillin were all Scottish inventions.
Only stayed in the office for about an hour today before Kirstin and I went for an adventure in the Kidzcare van. We had to buy some last minute supplies, like pillows, paint, napkins,etc. for the playscheme. Because we are just using the Royal Blind School campus we have to decorate the rooms ourselves so that takes a lot of supplies. First, we went to ASDA, which is owned by Walmart but the Scottish version. The store was in a similar format as Walmart and had a great selection of everything. No checkout ladies with missing teeth! Kirstin and I spent about 2 hours picking out supplies. We spent along time in the lotion isle picking out different scents because the texture and scent are very good for kids with visual impairments. We also got a lot of outdoor games.Next we went to a home goods store near Morningside to pick out seeds and planting material. At around 3 we made it back to the office just enough time to check e-mail and make a few phone calls. Hayley left today for her 2 week travel around Ireland, Spain,etc and Matt came back today and is leaving again for the U.S. in the morning. Germany just lost :(
