Today, Barb is feeling: tired, happy, excited, good all in all!

so we have had a crazy past 2 days.
yesterday we went and spent time in Edinburgh just because there really wasn't much else to do. we walked up and down the Royal Mile looking for Sara because she said she was going to meet us at the Edinburgh Castle, which is HUGE. So as Charles and I walked, Erica and Lexie went to the National Musuem because they had a thing they had to do for class.

charles and i never found sarah, (she did get back to the palace ok) and the musuem closed at like 5 so erica and lexie were only there for like an hour.
prior to that, we had gotten a quick lunch and as we were walking around we saw a bus and car collide, hit, wedge together. i don't really know what happened but the car and bus were closer than a you ever want to see them. and then we heard a crunch! not good. but it looked like the car and bus were both ok.
other than that, we just walked around all day.

today on the other hand, we went to Roslyn Chapel in Roslin.
if any of you have read the DaVinci Code, that should sound familar.
it is a really really really old church that when some maurauders were in the area and were trying to desroy everything, they came to the chapel and just couldn't bring themselves to destroy it. and so it has stood. it is made of all rock and just BEAUTIFUL!

i have some pictures and such.
then today after we went up and down some of Princes street and just walked around. it is now about 7 pm and i am tired since i have been up since about 7 am. while we were walking, we came across a used book store, which excited me! i found a book that sounded interesting and so i picked it up. depending on how i like it, maybe i will bring it back to the states with me, but if not i only paid a pound and a half for it and i could leave it here inthe library.

so yea, i will talk to you all laters!
oh!!!!!
