Update: Flying into Edinburgh, photo by Roxanne:
A lot of students are looking forward to a 13-hour sleep tonight, but others are going to a concert at St. Giles' Cathedral, and others out to sample the night life of Edinburgh. Before they left, we had soup made by Karla, Chris B, Christian, and Katy A. Also in the self-catering section of the youth hostel were a landscape historian from Aberdeen who John finagled into talking to us briefly about the history of Scotland, and a young family from Western Australia, here on a long holiday. We made too much soup. Tomorrow we hike to Edinburgh Castle, walk down the Royal Mile, climb Arthur's Seat, and watch Highland dancing in the evening. Hopefully also by then we will have more contributors (and more exciting photos) for the blog.
Christine has dinner:
The youth hostel is new and nice, just a block from Calton Hill and a couple of streets down from Princes Street. All the locals complain about the road construction for the trams (I should say I've heard three people complain). John found the nearest Sainsbury--packets of veggies for 89p--which seems wonderfully inexpensive if you think of them in terms of pennies, not pence.
