Back Again

I'm home now. I'm absolutely exhausted. I've had a fantastic week, but I can't even begin to process everything yet. I'll post something more substantial later, but for now, I'm going just list the highlights:

• Seeing Allie
• Catie doing a faceplant on the sidewalk in Edinburgh
• Keeping myself from spitting on the grave of Adam Smith
• The bench in Edinburgh in memory of Beethoven (really, what is that?)
• Seeing a Dali in person. Not a great one, but it was still a Dali!
• Literary Pub Crawl in Edinburgh
• Rosslyn Chapel
• The Necropolis in Glasgow, including a rainbow over the giant statue of John Knox at the top of the hill
• Not getting killed in Glasgow
• The bus ride to Ruthwell Church
• The bus stop at Ruthwell Church
• Ruthwell Cross
• The bed & breakfast in Carlisle
• Haltwhistle
• Seeing Hadrian's Wall
• Choral Evensong at Hexham Abbey
• Seeing Bede's tomb at Durham Cathedral
• Sitting in the (warm!) kitchen at the hostel in York
• The Undercroft in York Minster
• Meeting tons of new people

So, yes, I had a great time. I'm completely wiped out now, though!
