Edinburgh, Scotland

Wow, wow, wow! One of my favorite cities! Who would have known? I really don't hear too much about Edinburgh and what a fabulous city it is, or I just haven't paid attention. It is big, bustling, and busy. Lots of tourists everywhere. I would generally say I'm not a city person, but if I had to live in one I've always said it would be Paris, but now I'd add Edinburgh to that list. It seems very spread out and tall, so it is hard to capture its essence in photos. The architecture is really amazing and it is a very old city.






We visited a palace and saw the room that Mary Queen of Scots (bloody Mary) gave birth to the king.



We also visited the Britannia Royal Yacht where the British family vacationed and Charles and Diana spent their honeymoon.



Ok, I have no decorating bone in my body but even I could have done a better job than the Queen!



So, a great day! The weather was our warmest yet, close to 80 degrees. We also figured out our lunch problem.....we are vegetarians! Had a delicious lunch of a tart made with spinach and goat cheese. Yummy! Guess what the non vegetarians ate? You guessed it, chicken with vegetables and potatoes. I think this was lunch number 6 all the same. So, we are now permanent vegetarians for lunch. Had beer again too. Didn't even need a second because we didn't have anyone too annoying with us today, other than our bus driver....but that's another story.
