Lunch, Blackford Hill, Institute graduation

We went on a little hike yesterday up Blackford Hill. It's very close by, yet feels farther away. There is an amazing view from the top of the hills. You can see the castle, Calton Hill, the whole city, and the sea.

                                      

The planetarium at the base of the hill.

Blackford Pond is very pretty. I especially liked the swans with their babies.

Institute graduation. This is less than half of our students, but the ones who made it to the ceremony.

We took Yvonne, Ly, and Ly's friend from India to lunch yesterday. They chose an Italian place, but they all had some type of seafood. It was really interesting talking to them and learning about their homelands and traditions. Yvonne is Chinese and Ly is Vietnamese.
