Woke up around 9:00, showered and went to Starbucks and it was really HOT again. Had a muffin - typical Starbucks cake muffin - should have had a 'toastie', I love that word!
Walked over to Edinburgh Castle, up the big hill, which was not that bad of a climb. We proceeded to walk down the Royal Mile - stopping at all the lovely shops. We had a 2:00 pm Tennent's at the Royal McGregor pub!
Boy, that really got things moving along - I went into a ladies shop and bought a beautiful kilt - it's the Princess Diana Memorial Tartan. Trying on a kilt while you're a wee bit 'sheeted' is quite the experience! We kept sauntering down the Mile, stopping in a celtic shop and buying a Celtic cross. At the end of the Mile is the Scottish Parliment - "There shall be a Scottish Parliment". It's a beautiful modern building at the base of one of the oldest streets and across the street is the Salisbury Craig. The combination of old, modern and nature is overwhelming. We walked a wee bit up the craig - it's steeper than it looks! Next time, we go all the way up!
So now I'm going to speak about Marks & Spencer Food To Go Emporium. This is for people who want to grab something quick and go especially at lunchtime. They is every kind of permutation of sandwich ever, all kinds of salads, cheeses, desserts, juices, etc. It's FANTASTIC and it's cheap and it's good and it's all so lovely packaged. We decided that tonight we would eat in. We bought ourselves some sandwiches and salads for supper. I had a Cajun Chicken Sandwich with a Scottish Salmon Pasta Salad. 'Please sir, can I have some more?'
