Yesterday, Clare, Maria, and I took a train to Edinburgh for Edinburgh International Film Festival. When we got there, we had a few hours to burn, so we decided to go to Edinburgh castle. It took us a while to find it because Edinburgh is a much bigger city than Stirling, but we eventually found it.

We only had an hour and a half to spend there, but we got to see most of the castle. We all agreed that we liked Stirling Castle better, but it was interesting and fun.

After the castle, we went to a film called "Feel My Pulse". It was a silent film from the 1920s about a hypochondriac woman who travels to a sanitarium she inherited to stay safe from the world. What she doesn't know is that the sanitarium is really full of bootleggers. There was also a live piano accompaniment. None of us had ever seen a silent film before, and we all loved it! It was really funny.
We spent a little bit of time shopping after the first film and then found a cute little cafe for dinner that was giving a 20% discount for people who went to the film festival. The sandwiches were delicious and cheap!
After we ate, we went to our next film, "Day of the Flowers". It was a comedy about two sisters who stole their dads ashes from their step mom and took them to Cuba. It was a really cute and funny movie. After the movie, we had to take a taxi to the train station and then run so that we wouldn't miss the last train from Edinburgh to Stirling. Luckily, we made it on time and got safely back to the campus. It was definitely a good day!
