wandering around Edinburgh

Today we toured around Edinburgh! We saw the castle, St. Giles’ Cathedral, the Parliament Building, a cemetery, and the acropolis (did you know Scotland had one of those? I did not!) overlooking the whole city and the Firth of Forth. We had a lovely dinner out before taking the local train to St. Andrews. It turns out, the train after ours derailed. Awesome timing. We got to St. Andrews and met the lovely Sarah Kniesler! We ended up out at a local pub with a few of her friends, where I tried some Tennet's, a Scottish brew, while everyone else had cocktails. Before we left, she asked the building warden for a camp bed (cot). When we got back, waiting by the door was a cot (crib). We got this straightened out.
