dreaming of edinburgh.

Seeing The Illusionist a few weeks ago reminded me of the magic that is Edinburgh -- a city seemingly untouched by time in the best way.

I spent most of my time there walking around, gazing upward, marveling at the breathtaking architecture (and tripping over cobblestones).

Even the more modern aspects of the city -- the pubs and chippies on every corner, the tea shop with cute cake stands, the bunting-filled arts and crafts store -- Edinburgh is filled to the brim with charm and personality.

Driving away from the city as the sunset painted the sky a perfect background for the castles, it truly felt like a fairytale.

If you really look at these pictures, you can tell how breathtaking it must have been to actually be there. The mountains, water (I think I see water?), and amazing architecture all together are unbelievable.

I took a month long trip through Europe around the same time you did. I've been dreaming of it ever since... I can't wait to go back. Wish I had been able to make a stop in Scotland. It looks so beautiful.

The overview of that first picture reminds me of Gangs of New York for some reason lol. And I can't get over those castles (castles!)..so, so pretty!

i'm so not the person i would like to someday be: i saw the illusionist a while back, and it was torture for me. miserable. i couldn't do it. though it did make it through, so i give myself props for that.
