It's hot and sunny in Scotland - Quick, get outside and enjoy it!
This seems to be how things work here and I am trying my best to fit in. It was a nice day today, so I headed to the beach! One of the "suburbs" is called Portobello and is only about 15 minutes by bus from where I'm living right now. It was a bit windy, but I enjoyed a nice lunch on the beach and a bit of time reading in the sun.
The beach seemed relatively busy with lots of families and plenty of dogs. The esplanade has a couple of nice places to eat and get treats like ice cream. It was a bit windy and not terribly warm, so I opted for a sugar and lemon crepe instead. Yum!
I walked along the beach and enjoyed sticking my toes in the ocean - it's been a long time!

| I enjoy carrying a carabiner around - you never know when it might be handy! |
While I was walking along the beach, I ran into this little guy crawling around:

Some other scenic pictures from the beach:

| Shells, seaweed, and ripples. |

| Two types of ripple marks in the sand - I would love to ask my students to look at this and tell me what is going on here... |

| Somebody is hiding in the sand! |

| These were the waves before the wind picked up. |
