Hello hello!
After an amazing stay in Ireland I finished my intentional program and Im free. Free to travel that is. Julia and I have now made our way to Edinburgh Scotland, UK, after a quick flight on Aer Lingus.
This is one of the most amazing cities i have ever been to! It is absolutely gorgeous, historical, haunted, and tasty! After arriving yesterday we went to our hostel, Edinburgh Backpackers, and then went out for some food. Little did we know the Royal Wedding was going on that day and the streets were packed! We found an Italian Restaurant(which was also packed) called Italia Bella and chowed down. We then went walking around Prince Street trying to get our directions straight. It is a confusing city but totally walkable, if you don't mind the hills! that night we passes out after a big day.
Today we got up around 930, had a cheep Scottish breakfast next door, and caught a free 3 hour city walking tour. Our guide Andy was nice, and took us all around. I especially like the graveyard and princes garden. After that adventure we grabbed some awesome food at a place called the village (I had lamb). We then walked around the large castle, visited the banned book exhibit in the Edinburgh Library, and shopped.
Ok now it is time for a nap before we go to a pub tonight. I want to go to a place called Frankenstine's!
Tomorrow we hope to do a tour of the underground vaults, see the Scottish Museum 9newly renovated) and maybe teh modern art museum.
sending all my love,
