HELLO blog readers!!
we are currently in L*O*N*D*O*N, ENGLAND!! arrived about 10pm (3ish hours ago...already visited the Thame River and all of the sites around her ---> ejemplo uno: BIG BEN donging at midnight!!...more tomorrow about this wonderful city!) AHORA MISMO, i am going to tell you alllll our day in
EDINBURGH, S-C-O-T-L-A-N-D!!
EDINBURGH, S-C-O-T-L-A-N-D!!
we awoke this fine June 9, Wednesday morn in our used-to-be-church hostel, (ma, you would love it) threw water on our faces and headed out into the rain . . . that is customary here in the UK :) dressed in fleeces and jackets, we tackled the "IMMEDIATE BEAUTY" of a city (aka scotland) by climbing her hills to the famous EDINBURGH CASTLE. the castle was bomb. however freezing cold our sandal clad toes were, we enjoyed mosying around the grounds that some lived within their entire lives...saw some crowned jewels as well as great views of the city mmm.
LUNCH TIME brought us (well, cassandra is in charge of scouting out the best eatery joints...so far, so good) to another used-to-be-church (theme?) "The Hub Cafe" where we feasted on pea and smoked bacon soup, tea (cassandra), coffee (laura), diet coke (joe, but it tasted kind of funky...) and tap water please (darin) yum yum all the fixins.
afternoon - - - - - cassandra and i explored the ROYAL MILE as well as PRINCES (yes breeny, one S) STREET. we loved our afternoon full of free tea samples (out of this world delicious! Whittard!!! look them up) and souvineer shopping slash postcard writing (my fav) and crazy boys doing unicycle/sharp knives acts in the middle of the street. yes. while cassandra and i conquored the flat lands (yea, shopping joints) joe and darin trotted off to CLIMB A GIGANTIC, GINORMOUS, HUMONGOLICIOUS (the boys want this to be really intense) MOOOUNTAIIIN to overlook all of edinburgh. (photos of proof to come.) yes. thank you indeed.
so, we met back up at the bus station where our luggage was stored (for £ 7 aka seven pounds aka expensive kind of because the pound is strong) and continued our european adventure south to the UK :)
considering the fact that my comrades are breathing down my neck (minus cassandra) (okay and joe) to make this less of a book, i'll sign off for now.
CHEERS as they say here in scotland. well, they said in scotland!!
MIND THE GAP and thank you I-N-D-E-E-D for reading and loving us.
love,
laura
