I traveled to Edinburgh on my own for a few days and stayed at Lyn and Douglas's flat. I spent my days wondering around the beautiful city and spent the evenings in a pub. Lyn gave me excellent recommendations for where to walk (Aurthur's Seat, along the canal) and for inexpensive and delicious local eats ("Mary's" and Reverie). She also lent me a few items that I had forgotten to bring. The thing that I will remember most about staying with Lyn was how totally generous she was--she gave me a lot of time and attention and I was even fortunate enough to meet her friends at the bar. Sometimes it can be tricky as a woman traveling alone, but I would tell any of my friends or relatives to stay with Lyn. Also, I'm bringing my boyfriend back to Edinburgh (and Lyn's) for sure!
