... die naechste Gelegenheit war Ikea, weswegen wir dann doch da auch noch schnell eingekehrt sind und etwas gegessen haben. Fast wie zu Hause...<br><br>Eyad wollte noch fuer seine Freundin Kleider bei H&amp;M kaufen und daher sind wir, obwohl es schon nach 8 Uhr war noch in die Stadt gefahren und haben geschaut ob es einen H&amp;M im Rideau Center (grosse Mall) gibt, hatten aber leider kein Glueck.<br><br>Eingefallen ist mir dann noch die Sound&amp;Light Show auf dem Parliament ...

... this morning.<br><br>In the afternoon when we stopped on E. Kirby Rd at local market to stock up. I think it was a ShurFine. If you folks are out there, correct us with a comment and we'll fix it. Emily was really tired and stayed laying on the grass outside the store while we went in. Apparently she just conked right out. They made us the most amazing sandwichs -- huge and yummy. The ...

We were filling ...

It appeared (from the commentary) that the waters are full of ship wrecks, nearly every where we went there was a wreck underneath us - **** sailors. <br><br>On our return we chatted to a family of Presbyterians. The women were dressed in simple, modest dresses with little caps of material on their heads.  I was interested as they ...

... Edinburgh must have been a horrible place to live years ago - crowded and very smelly. One would think they would have had a better system of getting rid of waste than throwing bucketfuls out of their windows. I don't know what someone would have done when they heard someone yell 'gardyloo' from above - certainly not look up I guess. Off to the train station to get a train to Glasgow. Just our ...

... wine we went on a little pub crawl of our own. The first pub didn't really have any interesting beers (L had a Jurys beer and I had a local York ale) but we did meet a nice couple from Leeds. They've never been to Canada and had lots of questions. We left that pub and made our way to Ye Olde Starre Inn (L had to tell me that because I can't remember, but more on that later).
