The powers that be at the AVIS car rental thought it wise to give me a brand new car with 11 miles on it! It’s adorable! A tiny little ‘3 door’, black, Fiat.

So Ewejean and I maneuvered the city like champs, no, I mean chumps.  There was one honk, one forgetful moment of which country I was in and what side of the road I should be on (yikes).

I think the most embarrassing moment was when I got in the passenger side, as if you could drive the car from that side! Oh, and yes I acted like I was just checking out that the door worked…..smooth.

It was a busy day in a very busy city. The hotel is lovely, very welcoming and comfortable, I will remember it fondly if I have to sleep in my car (no reservations after tomorrow night).  Your thinking I’m nuts, right? Adventure!

First tour, The hidden secrets of the Royal Mile.  The guide gave us a good look into how disgusting it must have been in the 1700’s. The reality of no plumbing or running water, the disease and short lives.

It is said if you rub his toe, you may gain brilliance. (I rubbed the toe, look out)

David Hume, he was said to be brilliant, there was nothing he did not know

David Hume was said to be the most brilliant man, he knew everything. It is said if you rub his toe, you may gain some brilliance, note the shines toe! (I rubbed the toe, look out!)

To this day someone always makes sure there are flowers in memorial for the witches murdered at this site just outside the castle, beautiful memorial, gruesome stories.

Evening in Edinburgh, creepy ghost tour, with Jarad the tour guide/actor! He was awesome and told some very weird tales. This city has so much history (most of it bad) it’s amazing these stones survived.

So that’s it for me tonight. Early start tomorrow for a long road trip (I’m not driving!)
