Thursday, July 4, 2002 Location: easyInternetCafe, Edinburgh Weather: Solid cloud cover, occasional showers. A tiring but fun day walking around Edinburgh. This morning after a typically heavy Scottish breakfast we assembled in the lobby and made our way up to the castle for a tour. We scattered a bit on the way, stopping to distribute […]
