Hike Up Arthur's Seat and Sunday Roast



The weather in Scotland has been unexpectedly nice for what I was prepped for while it's a bit colder and windier than home it has yet to rain since I have been here in Scotland. In fact yesterday was quite possibly a perfect day in Edinburgh...it was sunny and around 20°C (around 70°F) so two of my flatmates and I decided to take advantage of the day and climb Arthur's Seat, the main peak of the hills in Holyrood Park in Edinburgh. While the climb is attempted by many and said to be easy, my flatmates and I took the road a bit less traveled and found it more strenuous then we were expecting, however, it was totally worth it from the top you have a 360° panorama of the city. Supposedly the sunrise is incredible from Arthur's Seat which we are discussing attempting to see but I'm not sure if it will actually happen.
After the hike on Saturday our flat took it easy today and decided we should make a weekly Sunday roast. So after hitting up the grocery and then the fruit and veg market...we started are beef roast which turned out wonderfully (doesn't it look delicious?)...for some reason are kitchen is only successful in cooking meat when we tried to make pizza the other night the dough would not cook! Although Elina made some delicious muffin cookie things popular in Luxembourg (My flatmates from right to left in the picture are Elina, Zara, and Madeline). Now it's early to bed for me because I have 9am lectures tomorrow but hard to complain when you only have class two days a week!
