Failure at its Best, and a Happy Christmas

Edinburgh is a lovely city to celebrate the Christmas season in. The shop windows are full of holiday displays, the streets have been strung with lights, and Princes St. has acquired a rather festive market complete with ferris wheel, ice rink, and water slide. We've decorated the flat with christmas lights and a tiny tree. We even have a penguin, it's all very festive. I've been extremely lucky to have been able to travel so much at this time of year and to have seen the holiday lighting up streets all over the world. It's been amazing and I still have to remind myself that I'm not dreaming. 

After making sure I spelled "failure" correctly I figured I might as well start writing the actual post. I honestly have enjoyed writing my little blog despite my missing the last, oh what was it, three weeks?! As of today I will be leaving this city I have come to know and love in exactly 10 days. While my time has been short it has been full of some of the best times I have ever had. Being able to share my adventures with you has been fantastic and I've loved doing it, but as my time comes to a close I think I will put down my laptop and stop writing... for now. I want to relish my last week and spend time with the friends I have made before we have to go our separate ways. So this is goodbye to "An American in Edinburgh" for now, but not forever. I will complete my adventures for posterity eventually, but not this week. I will see many of you very soon, live and in person! And I'm looking forward to sharing my stories with you face to face, rather than face to computer or voice to phone. So from Edinburgh, Scotland thank you for reading. Happy and/or Merry Christmas and there is much, much more to come!

And here's another song!
