Just me talking about costume-y kind of stuff

The National Gallery

We walked past The National Gallery every day and it took till the last day before we went in and explored it.  It's free like all the museums we saw in London.  We walked through the permanent collections and they allowed photography, so we took a lot of photos of the French Impressionism gallery.  I was also interested in the Scottish painters, so I took photos of that.

Holyrood Palace

Picture
We didn't pay for the tour, so this is as much as we got to see for free.  If we'd had Edinburgh Passes like we had London Passes, then the Palace and the Castle would have been free.  As it was, we chose the Castle and paid for that.
Picture
Here's the inner doors behind the archway.  The unicorn is the symbol of Scotland and the lion is the symbol of England.

Street stuff

I don't know who Wullie is but he sure likes sitting on his bucket.

A Cow in a Kilt.  Edinburgh really likes their coos.  I guess the coo is Wullie's friend.
Picture
Picture
Here's another one on the roof of the building we were standing by.
Picture
And here's an aptly named pub.
Picture
Speaking of weird pub names, here's some weird pub signs.  Apparently Edinburgh has a problem with wild animals?
Picture
Picture
Because, yes, it really was that cold all the time.
Picture
And if that's not weird enough, here's two cigar store Indians.

Another Graveyard behind a church

Patisserie Valerie

Once we discovered this tea shop, we ate there every day.  It's WAAAAY better than Starbucks.

Patisserie Valerie
Four cups of tea in the pot and scrumptious desserts to boot!  I had an apple tart and Rob had a strawberry gateau.  It's more expensive to eat in the restaurant than to get it as take-away, but you can't take four cups of tea back to your hotel room so we paid the extra sitting down fee.

The Leaving Feast

Picture
Because it was a school trip they weren't allowed to serve us whiskey, even us adults, so we got irn bru instead.  Irn bru is basically orange crush/big red.
Picture
Here's our entertainment.  It was Am-Dram at its finest.
Picture
Picture
Here's the haggis.  I ate it and it wasn't that bad, but I did get sick later.  Also, there was shellfish in the fish course even though the waitstaff said there wasn't and I was already sick from that.  
Picture
This is the mousse fantoosh.  It was good.
Picture
 And that was it.  We walked back to the hotel, I took a benadryl to combat the shrimp allergy and went to bed to combat the naseau from the haggis.  Rob went back out to take more night time photos.  We woke up the next morning, had our free cornflakes, and got in the van to take a death defying, way too fast and reckless, ride to the airport.  24 hours later with no sleep we were eating Tex Mex at Rosa's in Killeen. 
Picture
 I have never been happier to see a breakfast taco in my life. ​ 
​Rob got migas.
