Tourists

Definitely Americans

No doubt about it, the four of us put on our best impression of being tourists. We had on what were clearly American clothes, small day packs with essentials, caps that had symbols from the US, and as in the photograph, headsets connected to audio/video information devices. What a great time.

The day's agenda included lunch in a pub, a couple hours touring Holyrood Palace (the Royal Family's residence when in Scotland), a walk to the top of Calton Hill (with the most classic view over the City - not unlike that from the Roanoke Mill Mountain Star), a quick change of clothes (got to improve our looks), a panic and rushed walk to arrive after the reserved time at a nearby restaurant (someone got the reservation time mixed up), a delightful meal at that well-known restaurant (run but a Michelin starred chef), and great sunset views from our new flat (about 9:30 pm).
