Summer is here!

So, after all of this cold, rainy weather, the sun has finally decided to come out. It has been so sunny and warm out. I really wish it was like this year-round. A few days ago, I attended a livestock market where they were auctioning off sheep for breeding and for meat. It is a requirement that we attend one livestock market. It was actually interesting how the market/auction works. Of course there is the FAST talking auctioneer and lots of farmers standing around. A couple people from class went and Kristen went as well. Afterwards, we hired a taxi to a town called Causewayhead and ate lunch at this great Italian restaurant that had very good pizza. I finished lunch off with a mango smoothie (DELICIOUS!). We hiked up to the Wallace Monument and took some pictures of us scaling the monument and then made our way back down. We then caught the train to Edinburgh. I'll be posting some pictures from the trip today or tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great week!
