'Edinburgh by Wednesday'

'Edinburgh by Wednesday' - I couldn't help but laugh as I read this in my latest post. By Wednesday, I clearly meant Saturday.

Brian and I arrived back in Edinburgh this afternoon. It was only fitting that as we landed on the runway of the Edinburgh Airport, it began to rain. Why wouldn't it? Needless to say, as I walked through the cold, wind, and rain of Edinburgh's streets I began to miss Madrid, Sevilla, Ayamonte, Manta Rota, and the other towns of Southern Portugal and Spain. Though, after an eight day holiday turned into a twenty day holiday, my Current Account at the Allied Irish Bank in Galway probably sighed a sigh of relief to know that I can now begin seriously searching for a employment.

We stayed longer in Madrid because A) We really enjoyed the city B) There was plenty we wanted to see and do and C) We found a cheap ticket leaving today.

So, back in Edinburgh. The plan? I'll look for work and a place to live either here in Edinburgh or a smaller town north of here.

Check back for pictures and more on Madrid.
