Freezing in Edinburgh!

Today we went to Edinburgh, and unfortunately it was the worst weather of our 9 days of travel. It was snowing and really windy (the kind of wind that inverts your umbrella) the whole time. We walked up the Royal Mile and saw the castle then we spent most of the rest of the day inside. We went to the Giles Cathedral, the National Museum of Scotland, had lunch at the Elephant House (the "birthplace of Harry Potter" as JK Rowling used to write there), the Writer's Museum, the National Gallery, then we went by the Sir Walter Scott monument and headed back to Glasgow. Tomorrow we head back to Lyon and we are very ready... we are so tired!

i am tired from just reading about your adventures! it sounds like it was a pretty great trip overall. you guys really don't miss much when you go somewhere, all the museums and sights!! i want to go on a trip with you guys someday, so i won't miss anything (but please no hiking or camping, i like indoor plumbing!!). have a safe trip back.
