Frist couple of days in Scotland

Kels and I arrived in Scotland on Monday around 4:30pm GST. Our flight had been delayed for 5 hours due to some computer problem. We sat in the plain and waited for 3 hours just to find out they were going to make us get off and go sit in the terminal and wait another 2 hours for a different plane. Kind of suck but what the heck we made it to Scotland. So far we have just been laying low and unpacking. Yesterday Naomi (the assistant director of catering) arrived and we took her into Edinburgh so that she would stay awake and get used to the time difference. It actually was kind of wierd for me (drew) because Naomi studdied abroad the same semester kels did and I felt like the one who was getting a tour because they both knew the place so well. Anyway, when we got into Endiburgh we walked around for a while then saw the line for tickets to Hogamany, which according to the pamphlet we got is the biggest New Years party in the world. There are four stages and multiple bands playing. It basically is a glorified street dance. We waited in line for 2 1/2 hours for the tickets then once we couldn't feel our fingers or toes we went into a store just to warm up. I thought that being from minnesota I wouldn't mind how cold it is here but Kels was right it is a completly different cold. So far our trip has been fun and I cant wait for tonight (Hogamany). I hope all is well bak home and we will be talking to you soon.
