This morning (Sunday) we seriously considered going to the beautiful church where Sean Connery was knighted along with all of the other Scottish knights. After much debate we decided against the idea as none of us had suitable clothing on hand (we travel very lightly on the weekends). Instead, we headed to the National Museum of Scotland and took a tour there. For someone who is very interested in history such as myself, this was really fun (even as you are all thinking that I’m insane).
Afterwards, we stopped by Greyfriar’s Bobby (a pub named with some significance pertaining to Scottish lore) for lunch and returned to the cafe where JK wrote her books once more for coffee (it was really close and the coffee there was actually pretty good). We managed to catch a few sets of the Wimbledon finals before returning to the train station to catch our ride home. We really enjoyed this weekend trip and rank Edinburgh among our favorite cities. Although we did a considerable amount in this short time, we all plan to return as there is much to see in Scotland.
Hey Sean!
Sorry I haven’t commented in a while, but don’t you worry I’ve been reading your blog!
I CAN’T believe you saw Barry Bonds in the Louvre! LOL! That is just too funny.
Hey, I was wondering if you would come in some time when you get back and give me some Sax advice? Our section hasn’t quite been what it used to be with you around to lead. We’re doing band camp now and the kids are having a hard time keeping the whole piece in their mouth while marching. Was this ever a problem for you? I know you got pretty good at it.
Beyond that, their technique is severely lacking. Would you be willing to meet in private some time to discuss this further?
Thanks,
Dennis
