We've made it to Edinburgh
After a long day+ of travel (a delay at O'Hare for t-storms and a medical emergency on our flight to London which actually included a flight attendant asking if there was a doctor onboard), we made all of our connections and are now in Edinburgh. We arrived Thurs afternoon and after dinner, faded quickly and called it a night. Friday started with a visit to Greyfriars Bobby's grave (famous loyal Skye Terrier who sat on the grave of his master for 14 yrs) and then a tour Edinburgh Castle. Following lunch, we walked up to the top of Arthur's Seat, the 800'+ dormant volcano that gave a spectacular 360 degree view of the town and Firth of Fourth. We have just returned from a great dinner at a seafood restaurant. More sights to see on Saturday, including a stroll along the Royal Mile, lunch at a pub to watch the Manchester United game and various monuments. Sunday plans include a 1-hour train trip to visit St Andrews and, hopefully, a chance to walk the course (no golf on Sunday, which lets the locals stroll along the famous fairways). We'll add some photos shortly.
