Maggie and I rocked paper scissored our way into deciding where to take a day trip to. We wanted to be by the sea so it was downn to a few places on the shore but ultimately St. Andrews took the win. In my experience nothing stirs classic conversation than a bus ride. Planes there are too many people anxious, trying to sleep and working, trains are romantic lovely to read or write in but the bus is uncomterable/cramped and bus people are altogether hilarious so it's guaranteed awesome convos.

St. Andrews is a quiant beach town with long walks and smiley (not exactly smiling but closer) people. We walked down to the harbour and I got to thinking how retro lobster traps look and are. When you see something that is unchanged it is reassuring...I know the day that I start to see lobster traps that are robotic, invisible, and fold to be the size of my hand I will truely feel old. University of St. Andrews is where Prince WIlliam went to college...why British royalty goes to school in Scotland is beyond me- perhaps it is tradition. Being back at St. Andrews remided me of how Prince William used to lust over me in his college days before I broke his heart because of his receiting hairline.

We then found a deserted beach with wimpy waves. I immedietly had the urge to go running around and do a few kart wheels which I did and I always do when I see a beach leaving Maggie stuck listening to an old man who was informing her in great detail about the difference between the Glascow Accent and the Western Scotland accent. Maggie is like the Old Man Whisperer...an typical exchange between a passerby would be a nod and a smile but with Maggie is a listened conversation on the history of time.

The beach in the wintertime reminds me of that wonderful scene in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's romantic and bitter sweet. We walked all day- I didn't have my camera and I was BITTER. I often rely on visual cues in this blog...I am able to use alot of detail because I take more pictures than I need to which makes me downright anxious when I am without it. Never ever have I wished more that I could have a go go gadget internal camera that would work when I blinked. I am truely a child of technology.
