Scotland!

(Edinburgh; she's got a great set of panoramas on her, I tell you what)

Here are some pictures from my whirlwind tour of Edinburgh to see Aficionado/End of a Year.  Here are all the highlights fit to print; midnight evacuation of the hotel, haunted bars, a volcano, a statue of Abraham Lincoln, singing an old Bell County song that Aficionado now covers, the Parthenon, a statue of that bastard Wellington, late night goth karaoke, a big bottle of scotch.  Of course, capturing everything on film was a bit problematic, so I don't have pictures of it all.  See if you can match the pictures below with some of the descriptions above.

Mutlu yıllar! Happy New Year


Happy New Years everybody!  In case it's not obvious, that's a picture of my diploma from my first level Turkish course!  I got an 88... yeah, not great, but not bad, either!  I'm going to continue with the next level I think, but I'll hold off on that until after our semester break.  Be well!
