Edinburgh, Day 4

Today we took the hour-long tour of the Scottish Parliament (it was only established in 1997); visited the National Museum of Scotland (admission was free, like many of the museums here); drank hot chocolate in the Elephant House, which is one of the cafés where J.K. Rowling worked on the Harry Potter series; made a trip to the cheese shop; and walked around the city. 


The weather has gotten a bit nasty this evening. As I’m writing this, I can hear the wind blowing down the chimney in our hotel room. I’m happy to be cozy inside right now enjoying the fire. 


We had a fairly simple dinner of a salad, an apple, cheese, and bread this evening. Generally, we don’t like to leave the apartment once we’ve made it back after a long day of touring. It’s also pleasant to eat a small meal at night because we’re usually still quite full from lunch.


That's about the news from today. We're throughly enjoying our time here and are excited that we still have a number of days left to explore Edinburgh.
