EuroTrip Oh Seven

Yesterday, along my walk, I had a lot of fond remembrances of Edinburgh from my EuroTrip Oh Seven with Pat, Ang, Ursula, and Kristin. This picture is of "The World's End." It was one of the first pubs we went to in Edinburgh. They have great food - I ate dinner there yesterday (I had the Scottish Salmon). It's right on eastern side of the Royal Mile - it's a nice place.




Next, I walked back to the hotel where we stayed (Jury's Inn) and I took a picture of the bridge from the street in front of it. This was essentially the view from our hotel rooms during our stay.




Next I walked over to one of our of our favorite pubs from last time... actually, I'm not sure we really liked it, but it's namesake was really cool. This is Deacon Brodies - named after the real life Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. It's also right on the Royal Mile and the outside is beautiful.


I'd be really impressed if anyone could guess what this is... it's the tree where we roped-up our bikes for the break during our awesome bike tour. We had the tourguide take a picture of us last time... this time, it was just me, but I now know that the tree resides in Grassmarket - supposedly that's the place where a lot of the Uni students go for drinks after class.




This is a poster outside Frakenstein's - a theme pub after the British author Mary Shelley's heart. Last time we did Kareoke there and met a bunch of spanish people... As I recall, the DJ told us that Pennsylvania was "the boring state." Apparently he hasn't been to very many places in the US.







Last, but certainly not least, I went back to the Royal Mile to find the Radisson where Joe (of the famous www.joepenrice.com), Meg, & Kevin will be staying when they come to visit me in November. I'm really excited, guys - it will be a blast!! I'm finding fun stuff for us to do every day.

Also, my parents will be visiting early in November, for which I am also really excited.

I did a bit more exploring today - I'll write about that sometime during the week, but work & class are starting this week so blog entries will probably become less-frequent. I love hearing back from you guys - I do miss home and friends, so it's great to hear what's going on.

Cheers!!
