Last night at Windy Yett

It's hard to believe our holiday is almost over. We have to get up really early tomorrow to get to the airport so we don't even have a whole night left.
Our second castle was Edinburgh Castle. We drove to the train station at Falkirk and parked there, thinking that taking the train would be the best way. We were right. It was very much less stressful for our driver and navigator. We split up in Edinburgh (with a plan for meeting); some went to the castle and some didn't. The castle was great, there was so much to see there. And just walking around Edinburgh later was also great. Geoff and I went to the Museum of Scotland and like everything else could have spent much more time there. We have to come back to properly see things. Now we have finally got a rough idea of the history, so we won't have to relearn it all next time.
Everyone spent at least some time shopping on Princes Street - so many stores.
Anne, your Dad and I went into the Old Waverley and had a half a pint for you.
Glasgow yesterday. Again, parked and took the train. It rained a lot there the whole day. Our waiter at supper said they had 36 hours of rain in the last day. We got pretty wet but it's not cold. The cathedral was great, Will. Not sure what you want to hear in terms of details. It is Presbyterian but of course started out as Roman Catholic. St. Mungo's bones are buried there. There are lots of chapels. The whole place is beautiful.
We got separated but met up again at the Willow Tea Rooms - afternoon tea is so good. Then shopping on Buchanen St. The shopping is so great, there are these huge department stores and also small stores along the street. I found it all overwhelming and hardly bought anything. Glasgow is a really great place. Have to go back there and spend more time, we barely saw anything.
Went out for supper at an Italian restaurant by Allison's hotel, then back on the train. We were quite pleased with ourselves - we found a parking spot at the train station. Parking is a huge problem here; there just isn't any. People park on the street right in the driving lanes, you have to swerve around them. Or they park on the sidewalk. So if you do find a good place it makes your whole day better.
