A Room With a View

out my window

I am finally in St. Andrews, after what felt like a week of traveling and with nothing to show you all for it except this picture taken from the desk in my new room.

I have been very lucky thus far in that since I landed in Edinburgh on Thursday, I have been surrounded by people willing and able to help me get what I need, where I need to go and to settle in. Friends of the family, friends of those friends, all handing me off from one to another until I was firmly established in my dorm. The result of which is that I'm feel quite safe and confident here already. Everyone has been so kind.

Now I am off in search of food. Having no dishware or cutlery and having no idea how anything in the kitchen works, I am a bit short on food options, but I did manage to sneak little tubs of peanut butter into the country, so I figure if I can at least find bread and water I can make enough of a meal of it to tide me over till tomorrow.

I'll be posting again soon once something of interest happens, hopefully with more pictures and in a more coherent (less jet lagged) manner. Missing you all already...
