We are back on line-London and Scotland

---

WOW, has it been trouble trying to find someplace to finally get on line. Short of camping out at a McDonald's, the hotels have been a bear. We finshed our trip to London and arrived in Edinburgh Scotland this afternoon. BofA new terminal is big and has enough staff to take care of an entire airport on their own. Luggage came through, thankfully. We are amazed at how old Edinburgh is. Our hotel is right in the middle of the historic area. We are at the Holiday Inn Express, room 307 (44 0 131 558 2300). Will be out of room from abut 8:30a to 6p. Our plane was about 1.5 hrs late getting into Edinburgh, so didn't get to walk around before we had dinner. It is very, very cold, just above freezing. Needless to say, gloves, mufflers and sweatshirts have gotten a real workout this trip. The room here at the Holiday Inn is very nice, much more modern than the one in London, but then, it was in a very old section of London. I am going to download a few pictures. Hope you enjoy them. Tomorrow, Tuesday, we are going to take a bus tour, on and off, around the city......Haven't seen any reference to Wallace, but figure there is more than enough to see here. Probably won't make it to Glasgow. Have 24hrs on the internet, so hopefully will get back in time to put something in while I am still connected. Bye
