North Berwick

I should have known it was going to be a bad day when I woke up at 2:00 am and couldn't get back to sleep.  I got up at four and had a bath and still couldn't sleep.

We walked over to the dorms in time for a quick breakfast.  We caught the bus at 6:45 a.m. and were off to North Berwick Highland Games.  We watched the boys in their first round of competition.  Just as the band marched onto the field, I fainted over.  Nathan caught me and put me on the ground and when I came to there were three medics wanting to give me oxygen.  We missed the whole performance.

I slept most of the afternoon as well as you can sleep in a bus seat and then watched the grade ones perform.

It was amazing to see so many bands competing.  In Orson and Liam's grade there were at least 30 bands. 

The day wasn't totally bad.  The Ogden Pipe band got a first in one of their performances.

We arrived back in Glasgow about 8 p.m.
