HEADED TO EDINBURGH - Sunday, July 22

Taking a break at the Scottish border....
Our next door neighbor at The University of Edinburgh ...


We had a wonderful double decker bus with dvd player and lots of room and several stops for food, which was good since the trip was nine hours.
As we leave England, it has been suffering from historically bad torrential rain, but we have fortunately avoided it. Other than a few showers, our weather has been great -- and what's a few showers?

The countryside was lovely, getting more and more so as we neared and then entered Scotland.

The University of Edinburgh, where we stayed, has some beautiful, historic, old buildings and some nice, new ones in which we stayed.

This dorm room was spacious and clean and comfy and had a reading lamp which is the real test of a good room. The only problem was that the bathroom was down the hall, so you had to plan your trips and grab it before someone else did for your shower. Plus it was co-ed, so it was interesting.
