Scotland

I sit here at the airport in Edinburgh waiting to go home. I had such a great time. I spent the whole time with nicky, my second cousin once removed, yet we are truly sisters.
We like many of the same things and can talk about anything. We laugh so much.
Pants are underwear, vests are tank tops wear under your shirt, trousers are our pants as outerwear
Our vests are bodywarmers, jumpers are pullover sweaters, suspenders are garter belts
