We have been living in Scotland for 2 months now. During these 2 months, we have been learning new things about the culture here and adapting to the weather as best we can. One of our favorite things we have mentioned has been the farmers market. We go every Saturday to get our beef. Today Brandlyn went with her friend Gabriella because John, for those who don't know was at work. He got a job as a Sandwich Artist at Subway. Anyway, Brandlyn took pictures today of the Farmers Market so that you can see what it is like. It doesn't matter what time we seem to go, they are always busy, but it is a great atmosphere! We haven't really been doing much else the past 2 weeks. John has started work and Brandlyn has continued to work on her school work. In the midst of all this though, we have realized that we no longer act like tourists. As we walk down the street we comment on things that have changed, Brandlyn no longer wears big jackets when it is nearly 50 degrees, and she doesn't breathe that hard when we walk up hills. It is almost like we have become Natives of Edinburgh. Besides our accent and the occasional weird looks we may give when we can't understand Scottish accents, we are growing into our new home and it is feeling a little bit more like home. We still haven't tried Haggis though. One day, one day.

| This is where we get our steak pies. We didn't get any this run though. |

| Is there a better place to have a Farmers Market. I think not! |

| Brandlyn bought some fresh chili-lemon crisps here. They are delicious! |
Nobody can understand the Scottish accent, even the Scottish!
ReplyDeleteI always thought it strange how Britain has such a huge variety of crisps compared to the States - you'd think it'd be the other way round. I miss Prawn cocktail crisps!
They do have different flavors here. They guy told me he was all out of bacon and chicken flavors. I was definitely ok with that! There is much more variety here for sure.
