good bye to Edinburgh and onto St. Andrews



Woke up at 6:15 this morning, and this was the sight out of my window at Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh - The Caledonian. Well, actually it was even better at 6:15, but in the time it took for me to grab my camera, that extra minute lightened the sky and diminished the saturation of the red glow on the horizon. That's one of the challenges of sunrise photography — the light literally changes minute by minute.

Josh and I walked to the train station where we picked up our rental car, and Josh bravely drove back to the hotel (on the wrong side of the street) to pick up Jessica, Claire, and our luggage. We're staying at Rufflets Country House and couldn't be happier with the setting a few minutes outside the town of St. Andrews, a quaint, picturesque university town on the sea. Wish Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley were half as cute as St. Andrews — best known for the Old Course where golf was invented.
