My last week or so in Edinburgh

This past week in Edinburgh has been an absolute roller coaster of emotions.   Thanks to some wonderful friends and beautiful city with so much to do, I will leave with some great memories.  We have everything packed up and thanks to a lovely pair of friends, what is not packed up has been taken to a charity shop!  Thanks Andy and Suzie! Here are some pictures of the highlights of my week!

We had a wonderful afternoon at the beach
in Musselburgh.

It's a disposable grill!  I don't think I've ever seen one until now






We also made our own sushi!

This is where we bought our fish! 
We had to cool off the rice.  It works!

Ashley's beautiful roll!

We did an amazing job!

This is the grand opening of the National Museum of Scotland.  Definitely worth waking up early for!


An animatronic T-Rex!



Just one of the awkward fairy people. 



Here is a video of the fairy people and Ashley!

Dumplings

People have been asking me to keep them updated on what is going on in my life and how I am doing.  Since my life is currently on hold, I don't really have a lot of news or new adventures.  I have been taking each day as it comes, but I do have pictures to share with you.  Thanks to my wonderful friends here in Edinburgh along with a wonderful friend who I have been able to share this city with, I have actually had a good time.  Last Saturday I had dumplings for the very first time.

Dumplings Night!

A lot of work goes in to making dumplings.  It's a good thing there were six of us!

I think it's safe to say I became a excellent dough roller. 

Ashley became quite the dumpling filler.  

Yay Ashley!

Finally after all our hard work, it's time to eat.
