Hey everyone, we made it to our first destination, Scotland, yesterday and wasted no time getting around the capital of Edinburgh. Lynn booked us in the coolest hostel literally directly below Edinburgh Castle which you see in several pictures below. After touring the castle, we checked out the Royal mile and then ended up at a Scottish Ale Festival where we had 120 beers to choose from. From there we headed over to a bar to watch the Turkey/Croatia Euro 2008 soccer match where very drunk scottish folks were buying us beers to celebrate our marriage...good times. This morning I wandered around while the girls slept off their jet lag and then we met up with Lynn's Uncle and his family and did a short hike which let us look down on the entire city. We finished our visit with them over a beer at the oldest pub in Scotland opened in 1360. Very similar to Joe's, but 600 years older! We're having fun but not sure the drinking is preparing us properly for Kilimanjaro...oh well.

AHHH!! i am sooooo jealous. that looks so fun!!! ALREADY!!! AHHHHH!!! why am i studying the epithelial tissue all summer?!?!
keep blogging and posting photos. we miss you guys already but the fact that it's in the 90s and the ocean temperature is cranked up does help some.
xo
Because, Clare, epithelial tissue is crucial to blocking the onset of diptherial monotosis and eventually a bad case of stradaverial hippoglottus. Keep up the good work.
great pics they look fake..like postcards.
LOL @ what Corry said.
Awesome reading.
