Edinburgh

Greetings from Edinburgh!
I've decided I want Scottish ancestors...hmm, perhaps it doesn't work that way. So far, Edinburgh is right up there with my favorite cities. For those of you who knew my original plan to be bold and stay in a hostel, I chickened out. I found a great deal on-line at a hotel near the train station and right next to the Royal Mile. I am very happy with the location and the room. The only problem is that I don't have access to free wireless so this post will be very short. (I feel like I am taking the GRE writing exam again while I watch the usage time tick by...I guess it adds to the excitement of writing a blog.) ;)

Tomorrow I will join a tour to go to Loch Ness. It is an all day trip on a bus. I might have been able to find one of the smaller tour groups but not for Monday. I will let you know if I see "Nessie". If nothing else, I have already seen some cute Loch Ness Monster stuffed animals, carvings, and glass objects.

Oops! My time is ticking away! Gotta go!
