Nick, Lindsey, Dave and Kiren visit-NYE!

Nick, Lindsey, Dave and Kiren visit-NYE!



After our trip to Malta with Zach and Edie, we met Matt's friend's from Northwestern for a few days in London. We headed up to Edinburgh to celebrate New Year's Eve. Edinburgh has 3 days of celebrations. My favorite is the torch light parade from the palace to Calton Hill. Once on top of the hill they torch a viking ship, light off fireworks and blow the bagpipes. The second day used to be the biggest ceilidh (traditional Scottish dance) in the world on George St but now they have a bunch of different stages and all kind of wild puppets and things. We actually ended up staying in to bring in the New Year. But the next day Dave geaded to join all the other crazies as the welcome the new year with a jump in the freezing water outside of Edinburgh (Firth of Forth). My friend Kiren then joined us and we headed up to the Highlands to spend a night at our friends cottage. Yet another great visit!
