Scotland more

Second day in Edinburgh was also very cold and rainy but hey its Scotland!!  Toured the Royal Yacht Brittania which is quite a ship. Full if history and photos and had lots fun. Would be nice be queen if have own boat with crew lol. Then took bus to Holyrood Palace for more history. Quite a neat old palace that is still used. Took in the quarters of Mary Queen of Scots. Claudia likes her but I prefer Elizabeth I who knew how to rule! Mary was beautiful but kept picking qrong men and bad choices but she was dramatic. Ive also been reading biography of Elizabeth which is fun when visiting all these sites.  We walked back up the Royal Mile and shopped a little. I found some beautiful purple tartan scarf and gloves and cute xmas ornament. Then we headed back to our fave little pub for some drinks for St Patricks Day!! Lots of folks celebrating...reasons for a good Scotsman to drink more lol. Fun day no matter the Scottish weather.

We head back to London Saturday which is now today. Claudia heads home Sunday morning and I head to Paris to start my CIEE Group Site visit.
