Coast Walk With Friends

One of Janna's classmates organized a walk along the coast east of Edinburgh. It went through a forest at one point. Damn, it was nice to smell pine again.

*Note from Janna* Ryan forgot to mention the "Beware of falling trees in high winds" sign that was posted on the trail as we went into the woods. Oh - and there was a high wind advisory that day. I didn't know that trees could make so many scary sounds. We walked fast!



At the end of the walk we checked out Dirleton castle. The picture in the middle was a neat egg shaped building call a dovecote. It was just a cage where doves were raised for food.


It was very neat visiting with Janna's classmates and hearing about their lives. They are from Norway, Germany, and Canada so we felt rather international.


And as always the best part is the ingenuity of the old castle builders. This one was the best so far. I counted 5 different shitters. The only thing they hadn't figured out was how to warm the seat.
