    The Notes of Edinburgh

    “Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form.” -Plato

    My bad. Again.

    So I’m not the best at documenting my trips as they happen. I was a little preoccupied actually enjoying my time and stepping away from technology. So I put together this nifty video of my time in the Philippines. In summary: I loved it!

    The Coron Jewel

    This last week has been a whirlwind. That transition from something being “eventually” to “right now” is not an easy one, but my “eventual” trip to the Philippines for work has now become a reality. While what brought me here was the same as my time in India last year, I can already tell you this has been a night and day difference.

    My Bad.

    So…it’s been a hot minute. That’s my bad. In the immortal words of the glorious man, Jeff Goldblum, life, uh, finds a way…of getting in the way. So here is my recap that I’m sure is missing the finer details. It’s a dump of the remainder of my time in Edinburgh, the roller coaster that was trying to get in (and out) of France. The remaining tales of me falling in love with a new city, having the worst (but thankfully the only) night of the entire trip, and my final days in England will follow. I promise.

    Edinburgh: National Galleries

    Next on my list of things you can’t miss in Edinburgh is the National Galleries. Entrance is free to the general exhibits, however while I was here I got the chance to experience the Rembrandt exhibit. Right on the busy Princes Street, the National Galleries is a must.

    Edinburgh: St. Giles’ Cathedral

    The first on my list of things to see in Edinburgh is St. Giles’ Cathedral. It’s free to visit the 12th century church, and even if you have no religious inclinations it’s definitely worth seeing, purely for its rich history.

    Edinburgh: Week 1

    Apologies for the radio silence. Trust me, when you lose your passport and both credit cards, you tend to space on some things. I’ve been trying to not let that stop me from enjoying my first week in Edinburgh.

    Edinburgh: Days 1 & 2

    I finally made it to Edinburgh! I was promptly greeted with a head cold, but I’m trying to not let that stop me from enjoying my time in one of my favorite places in the world.

    Bath: Day 3

    Yesterday, in a word, was perfect. Every so often, you have one of those moments that, even while still in the moment, you know it will stay with you forever.
