Yesterday, my family and I went to St. Andrews for a day. Here are the pictures from that.
I just got an email reminding me that my Historic Scotland membership will expire this month, so I thought I should discuss my opinions about it and reflect on whether to renew my membership.
I’m still alive! Sorry I haven’t been doing weekly blog posts. I’m getting kind of tired of doing those, especially since I haven’t really been doing anything super interesting since I got back.
