so Saturday we got our breakfast and then ventured out for a tour bus tour, that was fun. the guide was quite entertaining actually. good way to see a city without tiring yourself out. he told us about Burke & Hare who were famous for a new style of body snatching that was popular at the time (whopping 10p per body for the medical school since there were not enough criminals to use). Burke and hare would find travelers that had come long distances and thought they would not be noticed missing. they would lure them in with lodging and drink and then get them drunk and suffocate them. have a goggle...pretty interesting!
we bascially just took the tourbus a few times round and hoped off at some spots along the way to have a look, not to much but we really enjoyed Edinburgh, great looking old town!

Woohoo! Exciting, scary, adventurous, enlightening, a true wish-I-was-there trip. You are the best! Keep on going strong .
Can't wait for the next installment...an old-fashioned serial. Kiss all the Scots for me. They are some of my favorite people. Much love, and just a touch of envy,
Mary
