"I packed everything last night, so it didn't take me very long to get ready. Dad said we had to catch two trains, to go to Oxenholm, then Ediburgh. When we got to the station, we found out the train was delayed because of vandalism! "Oh, great!" we all thought. But we found out that a bus that was coming soon would take us there, so we waited for the bus. It came and it was quite easy to put our luggage in the back! The bus ride was bumpy and weird. Finally we got to our train to Edinburgh. That was more comfy, but long. Scotland is beautiful. It is so very green and we walked out of the bus and there upon a hill was a cast castle! Right there! It was pretty cool! We hailed a taxi that took us to our apartment. It is so great! It is brand new, never been used! Joe and me get a room, and Katie, Mom, and Dad sleep in the other room. It's small, but way nicer than London. We went down to find Dad's theater, then the internet cafe. It's just like the one in Amsterdam. I e-mailed everybody telling them only 12 more days until I get home. I love Scotland, but I have been away long enough."
You want to know how I can tell I'm still reading Anne of Green Gables at this point? Because never in my entire life have I ever used the words "vast," "upon," or "quite" in the same paragraph. I'm literally trying to sound like Anne. Way to go, self.
