Goodbye Lenin playing at Henry's Cellar Bar.

Today was much more productive and exciting (although Project Runway marathons do have their moments):

1. Tried Costa Coffee - caramel latte - delicious. Like a European Starbucks-type chain.
2. Mailed some stuff at the post office...hmm...
3. Picked up a lovely package of random food items and manicure sets sent by my lovely family :)
4. Went shopping with Kristin and Alayna on Princes Street. Thankfully I bought NOTHING. But my new favorite stores are TopShop, Next, and H&M. So wish these were in America (with the exception of H&M).
5. Then wandered down to the Royal Mile and visited a VERY cool bookstore called Blackwell. I bought a cute little sketch book for a class and another book that will remain nameless as I am still deciding who to give it to. Also considering keeping it for myself.
6. Made pasta (again) and had a lovely conversation with my flatmates about everything from slavery to baby names.
7. Felt very American as me and Jillian and Jennifer went to see Jon (from Eikon) play a show with his band Goodbye Lenin (look them up on MySpace). Reminded me so much of going to concerts with Marcus and friends :) Those were the days. I sat on the floor in the front and took some sweet pics.
8. Then we all moved on to Shakespeare's, I cute little bar down the street for some more laughter. We nearly convinced our friend Nick from Canada that I was bit by a bat and now I have rabies. This stemmed from a conversation about how to spell the word 'rabies.' Wow.
9. Came home to each an Ultimate European Grilled Cheese Sandwich (Mom, that's slightly different than the Regular Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich).
10. Now I'm tucking in to leave early in the morning with Jillian for our 10-hour Highland Tour. Don't worry, pictures will most definately follow.

Thanks for reading.
