Things are looking up

So yesterday I had a me day and it was amazing. I walked around the new hostel, which upon re-evaluating, we have decided is really very nice. The only problem with it is that it is out of the way but there is a shuttle available. So back to my walk. It was a five hour affair and I went far. I started off walking along the water, and then on the first leg of the walk I ventured into a forest and found some ruins. Upon further investigation I discovered a church that was built ontop of a Roman fort, so my only guess is that the two may be connected. The ruins that I found in the forest were pretty old and had trees all over the inside. The next part of my walk took me through a suburban area of Edinburgh but eventually lead me to a trail called the Almond River Trail which took me along a very pretty trail along a creek where I saw pheasants running around and ducks swimming in the water. It was very quite and peaceful there. I stopped along the way at a little cafe and had some pea soup. I was the only customer and a guy about my age was the only member of staff. We had a nice chat while I ate my soup and I think I'm going to go back there for some homemade ice cream, (and on the chance that he'll be there again!!!). Along the way back I stopped along the water by my hostel and got my feet wet. It was great!! I couldn't think of anything else I would have rather been doing on a Tuesday afternoon. Today was back to reality though, I hit the pavement looking for a job. I have no idea where I want to work so I intend on applying everywhere, seeing what I like and working where I want. When people ask me what I want to do I say that I want to work with people. That narrows it down a little, eh?

I don't know what I like better about this trip, the things I am seeing or the people I am meeting. Although it seems as though everyone is either from Canada or Australia. I really like it here and so far it's so pretty I could see myself living here forever.
