Day 18 - Trip to St. Andrews.

Courtney, Brad, Cory, Danny, and I took a day trip to St. Andrews, the home of golf, today. After a beautiful and rainy train ride, we took a bus ride into St. Andrews. It was windy, rainy, and cold! Our tour guide was a nice man who gave us a great and informative tour about the course and the town. I even got to stand on the bridge that Jack Nicklaus had once stood on. I was so excited to be at a course that the professionals had played at - I've never done that before. It was even more exciting to be at the place where golf started!



We spent a considerable amount of time in the gift shops stocking up on REALLY expensive souvenirs. They were totally worth it though! I got a hat, some logo golf balls, a towel, and a hat clip. It was such an unforgettable trip!

We ate some dinner at a nice bar/restaurant and then decided to call it a day because of the rain and cold. I wish we would have had a chance to see the rest of what the city had to offer, but cold rain and heavy winds are enough to deter any adamant tourist. We sprinted for the bus so that we wouldn't have to wait a long time for another one. We got back to Edinburgh and decided to join the rest of the class in the bar for a fun night. I decided to turn in early, but I still had fun.

Tomorrow: Day trip to the Borders!
