Today ends two blue, sunny days in Edinburgh. Jam packed with visitors from all around the globe, energy abounds while it is also used up by managing the crowds. In our slow, provential way, we have seen a lot and ended up sore footed at the end of the days.
The Royal Mile with quirky closes and courts and alleys and cobbled streets full of buses.
We made it to the end of the Mile where Holyrood Castle and the new Scottish Parliament stand in contrast to one another.
Next up was the National Aft Gallery. We saw amazing paintings from da Vinci to the early 20th century.
Day two found us at the Scottish National Museum. Truly there isn't enough time to see a museum this large, so we hung out in the Scottish Kingdom and Ancient People areas for about five hours. Whew.
Ancient doodles on slate. Probably done during a boring meeting.
One million pounds in 20 pound notes.
