Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

I had travelled to North Yorkshire, England, to see the man who would six months later propose to me. He surprised me at the train station in Darlington with two tickets to Edinburgh. I had visited the city as a college student and he had lived there for a year and we both had said we would like to go back there some day. We had dropped our bags at our hotel then walked the city long into the night. The view across the city to the Balmoral Hotel, flanked in rain clouds but gloriously lit, was stunning. We kissed in the lamplight then kept walking in the Scottish rain.
