Kevin and I took a small day trip to North Berwick per Dr. Buckley's recommendation and it was beautiful despite the rain. It was only 6 pounds per person round trip, and it a quaint town on the coast. The beach was really pretty, and there were a ton of jellyfish washed up on the shore which was cool because I've never seen a jellyfish in my life. We walked around the beach for a little and then went to the information center to see what else there was to do. It was closed, and we were trying to make our way one of the castles, but we weren't really sure how the bus system worked and then it started raining pretty hard. We made the executive decision that were didn't really want to deal with trying to figure out the buses while we were getting soaked so we decided just to call it a day. I'm amazed at how casual people are here about getting completely soaked. I saw a business man with no rain jacket and no umbrella just completely drenched, and it didn't even seem to faze him. In the U.S. our days get completely ruined when it rains and people just hibernate and spend the day inside...oh, and people tend to drive like maniacs too. Here, because it happens so frequently people just adapt and make the best of it. I would say go to North Berwick on a nice day, and at least walk around the beach and look at the boats and small shops that this community has to offer.
