Beautiful Edinburgh

Ah, Edinburgh! This city owns me! I love it here, there is just such a wonderful ambience that radiates all around it! All the things I love so much - - the history, the literature, the intrigue, the macaabre, it is all around me.

Yesterday was wonderful until I read my dad's e-mail telling me that Ivy needed to have surgery on her broken arm, and that the hospital was giving them grief over my permission slip. But after a frantic phone call, I was able to speak with my mom and Ivy was already recovering, so I felt much better. Another phone call that evening, John and I were able to talk to her and she sounded great.

We spent most of yesterday at the Edinburgh Castle. Stunning! I don't even have enough time to go into it right now, because we need to go hunting for a Diet Coke for John...oops, I mean, Coca Cola Light.

We had some rain today. We took a ghosts and ghouls tour last night. We have to climb three flights of stairs to get to our room at the hostel, the lift is reserved for the disabled only. I have climbed so many steps over here my legs are about to fall off.

Well, I only have fifty seconds left on my pay as you go internet access. We'll be home soon. I have lots of goodies to share.

hugs!
