Thursday night we stayed at a residence hall for the University of Edinburgh which was quite nice for the price and included the best breakfast buffet I have ever had. Friday started out cold and wet but soon cleared off and turned out quite nice. We started the day shopping at local charity shops (like our thrift stores) then headed for the National Museum of Scotland.

Main hall
Very cool millennium clock with lots of moving parts

Megan and a T-rex
Weaving machine
Early steam engine used to pump water
Next we just kind of wandered around town.
Another castle view
Dorm where we stayed
Another Pub stop
After 2 days of walking up and down these hills the pub stops became more frequent.
This Irish pub looked interesting..
The closest I am going to get to seeing the British Open, a bar in Edinburgh
Yoda makes some drinking buddies
This is called a steeplechase, you won't be seeing Yoda for a few days.
