Medieval Town of St. Andrews

The town center is a 10 minute walk from the St. Andrews Old Course Hotel.  The amazing view of a quaint medieval town could be seen from our bedroom window, and from every window in the hotel.

After taking pictures of the fairways, we explored the small town of cobbled stones. I should’ve worn a thicker soled pair kasi I could feel the stones as I walked, merong matutulis, masakit sa talampakan.

The houses are made of stone.  Some are painted white.  This is the tiniest house I’ve seen here, para bang naipit or isiniksik lang.  Tingin ko 3.5 meters wide.

I found two stores selling mostly ceramic wares but I just looked from the window. Yung isa, pumasok ako but the designs were mostly about fishing.

We’ve been walking for three hours including the photo ops on the green. My legs and feet were so weary and tired. While husband window shopped, I sat down.
