Top 10 pictures of Cara's trip to the States!

Hello my dears! Happy October! The best month of them all (Hallowe'en AND my birthday?)!

Anyway, here is my top ten list: Top 10 pictures from my trip to the STATES. As if I wasn't feeling nostalgic enough...

10. This is the day we found a baby. NOM NOM NOM. What?

9. The cutest chairs ever, even if they were a little bit damp. Also possibly the only picture of me and Ashley where we're not pulling faces and/or sporting pizza tongues.

8. Emotional moneys were earned right here. Well, on the whole trip actually, but this sums it up quite well.

7. The ONLY statue of heroic ducks in the whole of North America! Can you believe it?! I'm determined to build one in my garden.

6. I just like this picture. And the Science Museum was so much fun! Musical staircase, yes please. Special exhibition about WHALES?! Double yes please.

5. Because the graduation party was fun, Chris is awesome and that cake was ridiculously good.

4. Continuing this brief theme of "people I met" let me introduce the WIP girls. This is actually what they look like all the time. Love for Waggs, Links and Flipper (pictured), Cricket, Bucket, Kiki, Kooks, Louie, Tex, Koral, McFly, Rocky and Smalls. I miss them and the summer I could have had. And I miss my overly Scottish alter-ego Scottie.

3. My last three pictures are all from the Red Sox game, because I couldn't choose between them and because it was brilliant. This captures the craziness of my blind walk from the station to Fenway, when I managed to keep my eyes shut THE WHOLE WAY. Oh, and I like all the confused people in the background, and Bailey's face (and Bailey in 20 years, standing behind her... time travel oooooh)

2. Papelbon. Me. Me and Papelbon. Do I have to explain?

1. This is my favourite picture from the trip, and I couldn't really figure out why, but now I think I know. I look entirely overwhelmed by the whole experience, which to be honest was the case most of the time I was there.

I LOVED IT AND MISS IT AND WANT TO GO BACK PLEASE. STA TRAVEL NEED TO STOP SENDING ME EMAILS ABOUT CHEAP FLIGHTS.

Oops. Caps lock.

And finally, the two worst and/or hilarious pictures from my trip:

LOOK AT THE FEAR! I was actually speaking about this picture tonight, and realised I was so scared because I thought that would be the moment when penguins decided to learn to fly. And then they would attack me. And peck my eyes out.

I couldn't not post this. IT IS HILARIOUS. I am terrifying...

As I have no classes and no excuse not to, I'm going to try to post weekly from now on. This has been most enjoyable! Ashley, I will see you on Skype soon! Roseanne, Aidan and Mhairi, I shall see you in Stirling on Tuesday! And Jenny, I'll see you in Fundee on Friday, where hopefully we will avoid all the penguin statues...
