Getting Out of the St Andrews Bubble

Sometimes it is nice to escape the bubble of St Andrews, even if it's not that far.  Yesterday, I took a short trip with a group of other study abroad students to Anstruther and Pitenweem which are little towns just outside of St Andrews on Fife's east coast.  Anstruther is famous for their fish and chips restaurant called the Anstruther Fish Bar.




After lunch, we took a coastal walk to Pitenweem.  Despite the cold wind, the walk was really nice and provided a beautiful view of both towns.

In Pitenweem, we stopped at a famous chocolate shop and cafe called The Cocoa Tree Cafe.  They have really good hot chocolate and other sweets.  
Dark hot chocolate and a chocolate chip scone.
I love exploring the little towns here in Scotland and see what is beyond St Andrews.  At the end of this week, I start my spring break by going to Dublin for the St. Patrick's Day weekend before heading to Prague.  Then it's back to Scotland for more adventures in the Highlands.  Hopefully I will get to write again in a couple of weeks with a lot to share and many pictures!
