Day 11

More haggis! And not just for lunch. Lunch (haggis Stromboli at the Elephant House in Edinburgh -- J.K. Rowling's haunt while writing her Harry Potter novels), but also a stuffed toy haggis! Found a stuffed Herman to lay claim to the stuffed haggis, too. :)

Spent the day in Edinburgh checking out art galleries (most of which were closed! Grrr!) and the rest of the Royal Mile and the surrounding area. Got to see Greyfriar's Bobby (google him -- great story), more stunning architecture, and FINALLY K1 Yarns. :) Cool place. Les got some great yarn including some great "organic" yarn to make a scarf for me. Still smells like sheep! Baaaaaah!

Last day tomorrow. :( Need to figure out how to get all this stuff home! May just have to drink all that Scotch. ;)

Well, I'm glad you found some Haggis that will be able to make it home with you.

Glad to see Les recovered enough to see Edinburgh. She definitely looks better and perkier. That Haggis toy reminds me of a Tribble. Maybe it's a Scottish cousin. Have a safe trip home. Can hardly wait to see the swag and hear stories. - Joe
