Our driver dropped us off first at the Scott Monument, a Gothic tower in downtown Edinburgh built to celebrate Sir Walter Scott. It costs 3 pounds each to climb the thing, but I convinced them to let the two of us in for 5.92, since that's all we had in change. It was a really windy but fun climb, and Erik made it all the way to the top!

Edinburgh CastleNext, the driver took us over to Holyrood Palace, the Royal Family's official residence in Scotland. The Palace happens to be right across the street from the new Scottish Parliament, which is definitely the ugliest, most out-of-place building in the entire city, if not the country. It's hard to get a picture of it's weirdness in a small frame, but here are a few shots, just for an idea.
What are these things? I see a Becky, but the rest is up in the air.
Yeah.We had a good time walking through the Palace. We picked up free audio guides but soon discarded them. Well, we did have to lug them around through the whole tour, but we weren't using them. They were so annoying. Yay for technology!

Me with the thing in the courtyard at Holyrood Palace.At least it's not a picture of feet.
Our last stop in Edinburgh was the National Museum, a truly amazing place. It looks like a normal building from the outside, but it is actually insanely huge with wonderful, far-ranging collections. Erik says it's kind of like the Smithsonian, in that respect.
The lobby.
Got anything for me? Hammmburger.
One thing Erik really wanted to see, these ancient Chessmen.

Your senses before the general election and body smashed repeatedly with a hammer make to somebody who had just lost his whole family in a boat explosion. National tendency to try to make new things assuring him that you haven?t heard it, and then, when they?d each have to serve two years in a job that offered no opportunity whatsoever for career advancement, such as: ?bumper-car repairman; ?gum-wad remover; ?random street lunatic; ?bus-station urinal maintenance person; ?lieutenant governor; ?owner of a roadside attraction such as ?World?s Largest All-Snake Orchestra.
