Visual Aids
By this point in time, I was hoping to have a great many (astoundingly beautiful!) photos to post, but as I have learned, the opportunities to take pictures here are fewer than was hoped. I suppose some would argue that there are plenty of opportunities, but I am rather reluctant to risk my camera in the wet and windy. Anyway, here are a few of what I have managed to snap so far. There will be many more to come, promise!
This is the view from the stairwell window outside of my flat: the College Wynd courtyard.
This is Don on the stairs up to Chambers Street. We use them a lot. They are the pathway to all of our classes and to the grocery stores. And the Jazz Bar.
This is taken from the corner of Chambers Street and George IV Bridge. A little further down the street is Frankenstein.
This is just outside of George Square. Potterow, the Student Center, is located in George Square. Just a bit further beyond George Square are David Hume Tower (where all of Don’s classes are located as well as one of my lectures), the main Library, and the Meadows just to name a few.
Finally, I don’t know if this drink has hit the US or if it is unique to the UK so far, but we were rather amused by their advertising campaign.
