Day 16 & 17

Unfortunately nothing much of note has happened the the last few days. Friday consisted of working on thesis all day. Some of the other people did go back to St. Andrews to see The Open, however. Saturday also consisted of working on Thesis all day. The benefit of all the work is I'm finaly starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, so that's good. We turn in Thesis this Thursday so I'll finally be able to relax after that evening. Saturday evening about ten of us all went on a haunted tour in the vaults underneath the main streets of Edinburgh. The tour was by Auld Reekie Tours, and it was pretty entertaining. It started off by a guide taking us to a few different buildings up on the main street, sort of giving us a back story on the vaults underground. Apparently they were used by shopkeepers as storage in the late 1700s and by the homeless once the shopkeepers had moved on. While I never saw any poltergeists or anything else out of the ordinary as claimed by the tour guide, it was a pretty spooky place overall and the guide had some entertaining stories. What more can you ask for with ghost tours?
