New Year's Eve and Gale Force Winds

Well, it seems like Mother Nature has ruined our plans yet again! First it was us seeing the Edinburgh castle (for free) because of the gale force winds. Now the New Year's celebration in George Square has been cancelled because of the gale force winds of 70 mph. The wind is whipping through the streets so forcefully that the lamp posts are moving quite a bit and the street barricades that had been set up for the celebrations were being blown around by the wind. We are bummed that the weather is so crappy because it sounded like it was going to be a great time with all the bands and entertainment throughout the night. But as we have been sick since Christmas with some sort of horrid cold, I suppose its for the best that the party has been cancelled!

Sorry your New Years stuff got cancelled!! We may not have snow, but at least we DON'T have gale-force winds either! It's been raining today here, the kids are bummed (sort of). They don't mind not having to bundle up, but do want to sled.

It sounds like you both had a great time in Spain, and you may have been safer with the Morroccan Mafia tour guides than anyone else (LOL)

We miss you!!

sounds like a good day to stay home and just relax....sorry your plans got cancelled but I think in weather like that you could fly away.
Happy New Year.

Trisha and Mike I love the posts of your adventures in Spain. I think Becky might be right about your tour guides. They seem to keep the others away, but maybe that is a good thing? I am looking forward to a picture of the magic carpet. Love, Aunt Sue
