Edinburgh

Good afternoon! Or morning still I guess for the MN folks.
My weekend in Edinburgh was quite delightful. I didn't really know what to expect, but it was an extremely old, gothic-looking city with big clocktowers and the massive Edinburgh castle sitting in the middle overlooking everything...



I didn't go inside because it was over £20 (wow), but I admired it from below! All in all from the weekend I quite enjoyed:
-The (in my opinion) gorgeous Scottish accent. Don't know what they were saying to me half the time but it was quite pleasing in the audiological department
-Pints of Guinness. Apparently Scotland is one of the only places besides Ireland you can get one "worthy"
-Surprisingly cheap prices. I got a few very nice meals for just a couple pounds
-Watching the football (soccer) premiership. It's really growing on me...

Now I am back in Newcastle, enjoying my 7th day in a row of rain I believe. And by enjoying I mean not really enjoying that much...Oh well.

Got my first latte and scone this afternoon! Lovely.

Later,
Karen

  1. I'm so happy to hear about the economical meals.

    I've been there, and I loved that Castle- but your photo is breathtaking. 20 pounds is too much, gurl, too much (said in Jamacian accent)

    Just think... I'll be there soon!
