Today we did the Royal Mile, which is a street between the Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyrood, which is where the Queen stays when she visits Scotland. While in St. Giles, which is the most important church in Scotland, we saw a memorial of Robert Stodart Lorimer. He was one of the architects of the church. Edinburgh Castle is where Mary Queen of Scots reigned. She lost her reign when her son was one years old because she was Catholic. They had a life size replica of her. She was 6 ft tall.
We also sent some post cards. (We need Emily & Nance's adress.) I think we'll take it easy tonight. It's tiring doing all that walking. We learned how to use the bus system. For 2.50 £ you can get an all day pass. We are getting a little tired of the pub food. There are a lot of ethnic restaurants where we are staying. It might have something to do with the location near the University of Edinburgh.

Personally I liked the ethnic food the best while I was in Europe. Indian food in London is the best!
