Spending December in Scotland is extremely cold but also beautiful. My only complaint is the fact that the sun doesn't come up till around 9:30 and it goes down at 330-4 everyday. Honestly, there are very few days where you can actually see the sun through the clouds. The pictures above show some of the sights around the area.
Their Santa set up in the malls out do ours by a ton considering they have real reindeer. You don't find that in Texas! The picture at the table is at Clifton's Christmas party for the sales team. We had a very good time that night. The picture of the can of IRN BRU is Scotland's big soda here. It seriously tastes like you are drinking sweet tarts! Amazing!
I also got involved with the American Women's Association this last week. I went to Inverurie which is a small town outside of Aberdeen that is where you can find some of the most beautiful scenery! I met 10 women who also have husbands that all work in the oil and gas industry. We had a great time eating lunch and looking at different Scottish made crafts. I am going to the Christmas luncheon with 50 of the AWA members on Wednesday. Here in Aberdeen there are a lot of Americans due to the Oil and Gas industry so it is really nice to get together with these women to talk about their experiences in living here and moving overseas. You would never know this until you have experienced it but once you are in a place where you do not here the American accent everyday and you are the odd ball it is wonderful to hear an American talking again! So I am looking forward to being in a room with 50 American accents tomorrow!
