So, id like to know what you all think. please check it out and vote, leave comments or questions if any. I appreciate it. thank you...
I'm here in the trenches of Scotland the city even more welcoming than the last. I've been wondering the street of the nearby town from the hotel for the last hour or so. Cafe everywhere and little bakery to boot. I found some amazing gift shops and have gotten everyone on my list a little trinket. my son is going to love the replicas of hedge stone and Nessy. I found a traditional art piece from Scotland and cloak of sorts that just spoke to me, I had to have it and will be framing it and placing it on my walls at home.
Sitting here at a cafe in old "kind of modern" town of Edinburgh, Scotland, I adjust the camera and its setting once again capturing people and the stores and cafe are this part of my portfolio haven't been taken yet and Im Igor to see what I have captured. I haven't reached out to Renee nor Matt considering I really don't have his number anyway. I know what hotel she's at and yes it was supposed to be our room but, she can have it. I was able to book a room elsewhere and really like the solo act this time.
Seb and I cleared the air from my conversation he heard with my mother. We enjoyed the evening and at first light "well for us" that is we set off and headed here. As much as I enjoy the idea of a wealthy man in my life, I have no desire to use his connections and or money to spend my time here or travels on. plus, I can't tell Renee I can't give her the hotel funds back if I didn't use them elsewhere. " not a nice thing to do, I know" I tell myself " but that is what she gets too, next time she will learn to confirm things instead of assuming" so now I assumed she was with Matt and needed their space and is why I have my own hotel. hopefully, the next part of our trip won't end so messed up and we can get back to good terms. I really just want a trip alone with her or if nothing else just me. But, I dare not say that out loud there are sensitive ears about. haha, I chuckle to my self.
Sitting in this sweet little cafe, I sip my latte and just really enjoy this moment. I'm alone for once and have been all day. SEB has a meeting in a neighboring town so it's just been me and I didn't want to see Matt or Renee, I wanted my time to digress and absorb the beauty all around me.

I will say that although Scotland has a charm to it, I feel that Ireland has more to see in the towns perhaps its the amount of time I will have here that I don't feel there is much to see. the popular tourist places of course and I will see those. but, overall I find myself liking Ireland more and more. Im lost in thoughts and journal entries when my waiter comes and breaks me out of them.
"Excuse me, ma'am", will you be needing anything else.?" server asks
caught off guard I pause before answering, " No, no thank you!" I say in return.
"very well ma'am here is your check have a great day," server leave check and disappears
I sit for a while longer enjoying the moment as the day begins to turn to evening feeling a gentle chill air blow by. I place the correct amount of euro's and tip in to fold of book with my check gathering my things I begin my walk back towards the hotel, Thankfully it's only a few blocks from here. I do want to reach it before dark falls.
