Scotland

We are on day 3 in Edinburgh as we arrived thursday afternoon after traveling from 8:30 am till 4 pm. The rest of our time with Ben was really enjoyable and now we are bugging Ben to come to Canada. We are now with Ben's brother Tim and his wife Katie. They live in the suburb part of Edinburgh in a beautiful home and we've had a blast with them so far. Yesterday we went and explored the town by walking the streets and enjoyed the gorgeous sunshine before meeting Tim for dinner. We then hit the bars. One of them called "the Dome" was an old bank that had been transformed to a bar and it was not a bank you would see at home. The floor was a detailed mosaic; there were marble pillars, and the celling was a beautifuly architectural dome - hence the name. Our night ended at 4 am when we finally hit the pillow and it has been a slow recovery day. To say it was fun is an understatement. After nurses ourselves we climbed the hill in the Pentlands and enjoyed the gorgeous city view. For dinner tonight we are going to have haggis for the first time. Tomorrow the plan is to hit up St. Andrew's. Monday we depart on a threeday haggisadventure tour to see more of North Western Scotland.

Side Note: the phone is not being delivered. Something happened with the ordering and it ended up being refunded. We found a store in town that cells Quad Band phones for cheaper than the online place so we are going to pick one up - unfortunately it won't be waterproof as we had hoped. Oh Well. But very soon we will have communication again.
