Hi Folks,
Our students are taking their first exam as I type, and gearing up for the first weekend of independent travel---two heading to Ireland, three to York, the rest t.b.d. This is a great group--we're all amazed that a week of the program is behind us.
Between the visits that you've heard about, we've made a trek to Stirling to visit Stirling castle and come in last (again) at the pub quiz on Tuesday evening. Coming in dead last is becoming a bit of a tradition for this program, as is naming ourselves "O, Canada" for a team name. Have to save face, you know.
We've also had a guest lecturer on the fallout between Jean Jacques Rousseau and David Hume following their commissioned portraits by the Scots painter Allan Ramsay. She'll also be our guide at the gallery next week.
Yesterday afternoon's blog posting on the visit to Edinburgh Castle will be up later today.
Happy Weekend!
Dr. Long
