St. Andrews Cathedral

Seaside town of Crail

Today's itinerary included a trip to St. Andrew's. It's been one of my favorite visits so far. To see something so old (the campus alone is celebrating their 600th anniversary) is truly amazing to me. Since I'm such a royal family nerd I loved to think that Will and Kate went to school in the very grounds I was walking. The weather was once again beautiful--I'm waiting for this Scottish rain that's supposed to be typical of the area. I wandered the little town with a few friends. We saw the golf course (the first one in the world), St. Andrews Cathedral (or what's left of it) and various other churches around town. My photography class had an excursion and we visited the University Museum and a town called Crail. We took lots of photos with our camera obscuras and had fish and chips at a quaint and delicious little restaurant by the sea. The beaches by St. Andrews remind me so much of Lake Michigan. Light blue water, soft sand and similar plant life. I loved all the history around me. Tomorrow, myself and three other friends wake up extremely early (3:30 am is our departure time) and head to London. To say I'm excited is an understatement.
