May 10th - Edinburgh

We started this morning by going to church.  We decided to go to church literally minutes before the church service was due to start, we ran...I was running, the family was walking quickly.  This is not the church we went to, but it's one we found.

 

 

 We went to a little pub near the church for lunch, for a pie and a pint and then we walked around the other side of the city in New Town.

 

 

I want to be appointed by the Queen to be official babysitter of her Grandkids.

 

I love paper, I love colour, I love all this organization.

 

Sweet roundabout that people ACTUALLY know how to use!

 

Wood.

 

Tile.

What a great corner to live at!

 

 

Advertising for your pointer dog?

 

We found this around a corner and down a driveway....

 

Just chillin.

 

Scott Memorial.  Now, I totally understand where the architectural ideas from the Lord Of The Rings comes from...

 

What. Is. This??

 

Other than this being the holiday of rock and plaster, it's also the holiday of the Cemetery.  I think this was my 5th Cemetery I had visited.

 

So cool.

 

Looking up to Calton Hill

 

Calton Hill is your Memorial.  What?

 

We're Scottish but we'd like to be Athenian.  Or French.  Or anything but English.

 

The view to Arthur's Seat

A tour group....I almost joined in, but the weather was drastically changing...

 

A rock.  On Calton Hill.

Melissa and Jon and Max did a panoramic picture from up here.

 

The jail.  Kinda like Alcatraz.

Kent had my camera.  Not sure what this is about.....

 

 

We wound up again on The Royal Mile.  It's what we do...we found this guy playing.
