Edinburgh, Scotland: 8 July 2016
Day 8
We headed out this morning to join a
Sandeman's Walking
Walking tour in front of St. Gile's Cathedral
Tour in old town Edinburgh.  It was great.  With a nice mix of the old an new, aka Royal Mile and Harry Potter lore, we found ourselves trapped in the lure of the city.  Gemma was the hit of the tour, of course. 
Walking along the Royal Mile, we were reminded that the Queen was in residence at Holyrood Palace.  And, me, without my hat...whatever will I wear to tea?
We napped too long this afternoon which meant Edinburgh Castle needed to wait for the next trip.  Goodness knows I needed the rest.  We hadn't slowed down at all since early May when Jim Brice left Kaiserslautern.  Greek for dinner-- yummy!  We took time to catch up on news along with soccer and Wimbleton after we packed the car in getting ready to get back on the road ... this time to the Scottish highlands.
