A Dundee Day

My dad and I met up as soon as we were awake to head over to Dundee for the morning. The drive was pretty nice, but a little longer than we expected. My dad and I have a running joke that Scottish miles are three times longer than U.S. miles and that they must measure them in "Scotland Yards".

Frigate Unicorn

Dundee reminded us a lot of Auckland, New Zealand in almost every aspect. We went to a couple of larger malls, to look for items I was still missing on my list, and luckily were able to find a bike helmet/ lock and a mini safe. We ate lunch at a potato bar, then went towards the waterfront. I got to explore the Frigate Unicorn, a historic warship from after the Napoleonic Era and really enjoying going into the crawl-space holds on the bottom of the boat. We also saw a really awesome lighthouse boat! After that, we went back to St. Andrews.

North Carr Lighthouse Boat

I wanted to participate in the Art Society drop in and the Canoe Club kayaking, but was a little late to join, and was kind of tired. I went to the Sports Center to check out the dance society try-it session, but felt a little overwhelmed by the hundred people crammed in a room to fit fifty.

I met back up with my dad and we walked around downtown for a little while. I got a library card for the public library, and therefore "unlocked" another study/internet/resting area in town. We ate some dinner, then went to a showing of the Ever to Excel movie at the union.
