It's 8:15 pm and I've had a splendid day. I woke up around 9:30 am after about 5 hours of sleep, and although I wanted to keep sleeping I knew I had a "hearty scottish breakfast" awaiting me. Oh my my...I went out to the eating area and saw cereal and oats, and thought, wow, this looks HEARTY, not....but little did I know they had a menu full of the most heart attack enducing types of food ever. I ate scrambled eggs, whole wheat toast, bacon, and hashbrowns. Relatively tasty! I was really full and went back up to my room....and went back to sleep. I wouldn't be Annabo Kristine T if I didn't sleep until 3:30 pm! At 3:30 I launched myself out of bed and got dressed, brushed my teeth, and went out. I knew I had to seize all the time I could if I was to have an ACTIVE day and be able to sleep tonight. Oh I did. Here are some of the things I did:
Here is a view of the buildings near where I am staying:
I walked to the famous downtown street, Princes street. Because the weather was almost up to the seventies, it was jam packed with people, and of course, men playing bagpipes. Here are a few pictures from downtown:
Here is a video of downtown Princes Street:
After I took in the beauty of downtown, I walked back up near my hotel, grabbed dinner, and decided to tackle the hills of Arthur's seat (which has a beautiful view of the castle:
Here is the presbyterian church I will go to tomorrow, located at the end of the street where my hotel is:
Here is the healthy, small portions dinner I had...fish and chips...I couldn't even eat 1/3 of this, but it was tasty...:
However, I probably burned all calories I had in the last week with the 3 hour hike I took to Arthur's Seat....so worth it! It was disgustingly hot but the sights were oh so breath taking....Here are some pictures!:
This is what I had to climb!! :)
I have more pictures but the computer is pretty slow...enjoy!

Great pictures! The arthur's seat hike looks amazing. And the full size fish and chips picture looks scary but delicious. And that crazy gothic tower thing from downtown is cool too... Oh I wish I were there with you!
