Hello again! We are still here - and getting used to our surroundings. So far we are fairly familiar with our little neighbourhood of Currie. 3 very small markets, a fish & chip shop, and 3 pubs all within about 3 minutes of walking. We are also getting to know the city centre quite well - we've been impressed with how many people can jam into the Royal Mile - lots of music, strange looking people, and street performers during these Edinburgh fringe festival days.
Yesterday I met one of my colleagues who drove me to my new school, Craigmount High. Very nice facility, and I'm looking forward to beginning on Monday. Sorry, that's actually a lie, but I do like the school. I'll try to post a few photos next week of the school, just so everyone can see that I am actually working and not just trying to escape from Canada for the year. Below are a few more pictures of things we've done the last few days. Cheers!

Emma and Sophie were VERY excited to see
a mention of Canada in the castle. Proud Canadians!

3 pubs within 3 minutes of walking? That sounds dangerous. The name of your school is awesome. Have fun starting school 3 weeks earlier than us.
