Well today was another packed day of adventure. A lovely breakfast that included a Scottish pancake left us fueled to take on the day. We first took the bus to the Brittania, Queen Elizabeth II's yacht for many years. It was really spectacular in both its beauty and in how it was operated to provide her luxury at sea. Holyrood Palace saw drama with Mary Queen of Scots and was a lovely palace to tour whilst it rained. The attached abbey ruins were perfect on a gloomy day. After stopping for a pint we toured the Museum of Edinburgh and St Gyles Cathedral. We ended the evening with a literary pub tour that was quite entertaining. Two of the girls on the tour were NWU theater grads acting in a show at the Fringe. We spent awhile after chatting with them which was quite fun as they probably enjoyed hearing midwestern accents for a pleasant change. A stop for a pepper steak meat pie ended a good day.
