Aberdeen Day 2 - Auchindoun Castle

 This morning we headed west to check out some places we wanted to see. Auchindoun Castle was first. It is a castle ruin from the 1400's. Amazing what is still standing. So awe inspiring! Our poor rental car - a Vauxhall Mokra - took a little beating getting to this castle and the next castle ruin we saw.

Aberdeen - Day 1

 After a very long travel day we arrived in Aberdeen on Saturday afternoon. We met up with Alex and he showed us around campus and some of downtown Aberdeen. Can't believe we are here!



Alex's flat is in this building

Brig o' Balgownie, the oldest bridge in Scotland!

St Machar's Cathedral on campus as seen from Seaton Park. This is where Alex walks through everyday and attends church.

Powder Puff football for Izzy

 Izzy and the seniors got the win over the juniors! Was a nail biter as the juniors had a field goal opportunity for the win but they couldn't convert.
