Dinner Guests

Live Plants

We are having a couple of rather busy tourist days. Yesterday, museums in Edinburgh Castle. Today, a walk along Queen Street Gardens where we saw a working 10-foot diameter clock made of live plants (pictured), spent a fascinating time in The Peoples Story Museum absorbing historical first-hand accounts of the day, walked past myriad shops and restaurants along the touristy Royal Mile, and roamed through many in the National Museum of Scotland where we saw the first cloned mammal (Dolly the sheep).

We ended the day as dinner guests at the home of a real nice couple we met on a recent hill walk with the Club we joined. How nice of them to invite three virtual strangers from America to their home. Even nicer, they were generous with information and recommendations about interesting places and sights in Scotland. They are from the UK, have lived in numerous European countries, and have returned to Scotland to be near children and grand children.

More scheduled for tomorrow and the day after.
