No pictures today :(

Janna and I planned to meet our friends William (who's Scottish), and Carolina (who's from Poland), and go on a tour of the newish Scottish Parliament building, but apparently we were supposed to get tickets several days ago which none of us had. So we decided to go to this talk a professor was giving on the religion of Islam. It was really interesting, although I raised my hand and asked a question about what a moderate Muslim believes about spreading Islam (the prof had said something about being unable to make other people believe Islam if they didn't want to), and I think he got the wrong idea and thought I was attacking. He must have picked up on my American accent because he then started talking about Evangelical Christians and a bunch of unrelated stuff. All in all it was a good talk, but I'm not sure I totally believe or respect the guy who gave it. He definitely came from a Muslim point of view and wasn't ready to consider being in someone else's position. After that, I went home and cooked pesto pasta for Alanna. She'd never had pesto sauce before and she liked it! In a few minutes we'll be going out to watch a rugby game and then I'm meeting up with some other people to go on a tour of the supposedly haunted places in Edinburgh (there are lots!) where people were tortured and killed (pleasant, I know). So that's my day, no idea what's on the agenda for tomorrow. Hope you all are doing well!
