A curious mind

Didn't do much today, got on a train and went off through the hills to Edinburgh.

When we got there, we hopped in a taxi (£6) and went to the bed-and-breakfast. It was built in 1870. Big old Victorian house. It's only a 10 or 15 minute walk from the BnB to the main downtown, uphill all the way. T had a good laugh when she saw a "To Let" sign. First couple of times she read it, she thought it said "Toilet".

T and I walked over to the Royal Mile and had a late look around. The castle was already closed, so we'll do that tomorrow. The Thistle Cathedral was open so we went exploring. Huge old place

We didn't know what was going on, but there was a crew decorating the street for Christmas. Found out that they were doing a commercial for a phone company that night.

Ended up at the "Conan Doyle" (had a terrific lunch there), named after the author Arthur. He was born across the street from the pub (he's the guy that wrote all the Sherlock Holmes books).

Back to the room for a nap and then out for more walking and exploring. Ended up in another bar for a another beer and some nachos.
