Aberdeen Adventure

Tuesday night I ventured out as the tail end of the storm was fading.  The view from my bedroom window tempted me out to sea.  Here are some pics that I'd like to share:


          

This is the view from my bedroom window...

Here are some die-hards playing football.

This is the part of the view I like to focus on.

Debris from the storm... lots more where that came from!

Ah, the glorious sea... a ten minute walk from my apartment.

This one's for you Vicki-Jean!

This is the wave that engulfed my boot and soaked my foot.  The current was so strong, that I got the heck out of the water... as romantic as drowning in the North Sea might be...

That's interesting, for my dragon breath likes to breathe on boring students!

I just wanted to make clear to anyone planning a visit... so Mom, Mags, Danielle, Jeff, Munchkins, consider yourselves warned!

Finally Settled in Aberdeen!

Hello,

Well, here I am in Bonnie Scotland, thrilled to have found a flat near the university.  It is on the fourth and top floor and I have lovely views of the North Sea.

I spent the day yesterday being visited by the Queen of England... why go to her, when she'll come to me!  She was here to officially open the extensive new library facility on campus.

Here are some pics of my journey so far... I hope you enjoy.

By the way, that is Bishop William Elphinstone in that sarcophagus... an interesting connection to the coast.
