My dad and I left my house at noon. The shuttle took us to O'Hare airport in Chicago. Flight to Heathrow, a reasonably short layover, and a flight to Edinburgh. When we arrived in London, it was midnight our time, which is about the time I normally go to bed, so I'd hoped to get a nap on that flight, but it was not to be... in large part due to a large group of Argentinian teenagers on the flight. But we made it to EDI, picked up our car, and struggled to find our hotel. The GPS would have made it not too difficult, but for the road construction. But we found the hotel, and set off to find parking. And an hour or more later, we took the first parking place we saw.

By the way, I'm not sure if everyone's aware of it, but it's pronounced ED-in-bur-rah.

Our next destination was Edinburgh Castle. My dad had missed touring it the last time he was there, so he really wanted to see it. Fortunately, it's hard to miss. This one was taken only a few blocks from where we parked. Our hotel was just the other side of it.



I really hadn't realized how hilly Edinburgh is, until I started looking at photos, shortly before the trip.

Then we toured the castle. )
