Edinburgh, Day 2
It was another wonderful, busy, and fun-filled day. We visited a farmer’s market and bought some bread, local cheese, and two brownies; we toured Edinburgh Castle, saw the Scottish Royal Crown Jewels, and some spectacular views of the city; and we visited the National Gallery of Scotland where we viewed some paintings by Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Rafael, Monet, and Goya. We ate venison haggis with neeps (turnips) and tatties (mashed potatoes) at the farmer's market, cheese at home this evening, and hamburgers at a terrific local restaurant called Wannaburger. The weather was a bit misty (with a few sprinkles of rain), but we managed to stay warm and dry. We’re exhausted, but happy!
It looks so beautiful there. Misty with rain here too, but we could not have taken a picture like yours, it is much darker. Sleep well.
ReplyDeleteHey,Kate,
ReplyDeleteGreat report on the trip from Anqing to Edinburgh, and the activities so far. It certainly does look like a pleasant city.
Good phone talk this morning--thanks for ALL the communication.

(Tried to leave a comment on Jean-Jacques' site, but it froze.
ReplyDeleteSo I'll repeat it here:
Yo, Jean-Jacques,
Are we having fun yet?
It is a joy to witness such joy.
Carry on, Sir.

It was fun to talk to you too, Grandpa. I'll pass your comments on to Jean-Jacques. Talk to you soon!
