Eating haggis in Edinburgh, Scotland (and it ain't so bad!)

We only had 2 nights in Edinburgh and really could have used more. There's a castle (called Edinburgh Castle, very creative name) right in the middle of the city. How cool is that?! Couple this with lots of rolling hills made by an extinct volcano (including the castle rock that the castle sits on) and it makes for a pretty cool place to walk around. We also saw the first Avigilon camera on this European leg of the trip. It was spotted in the Edinburgh castle gift shop, which proves my point that it's always worthwhile to peruse gift shops.

We had our first haggis experience (sheep's heart, liver and lungs mixed with spices and onion) in Scotland and we liked it so much that we ordered haggis nachos later in the day. That's 2 experiences in 1 day! It tastes good as long as you don't think about what it is too much.

We saw sheep everywhere on the drive from Leeds to Edinburgh.

Shoot. The lambs look really cute.

Spacious apartment rental - airbnb has been great!

Mike loves telling me not to 'foul the land'. Sigh.

The prison at the castle actually looks kind of comfortable. People love lying in hammocks nowadays, right? 

Not just a corny picture of me in the gift shop. Look above! 

Is it creepy to take photos of the security cameras?

Grilled veggies with sorbet, which sounds strange but was delicious.

Mom - now I know where you got this word from!

Palace of Holyroodhouse (official Scotland residence of British monarchy and found at the end of the Royal Mile). 

I swear, it's windy everywhere we go.

There's a storm a brewing!
