Cow Art

We walked a few more blocks to the Jekyl and Hyde Pub simply because James had praised its eccentric decor featuring hidden bathroom doors built into bookcases and oddball Victorian decorations. When we got there we learned they had had a fire in the kitchen so lunch was not being prepared. We reversed our walk down Hanover Street and opted to eat at Pret a Manger, the European cross between Starbucks and Panera. We had a so-so lunch of sandwiches and Cokes. After spending close to $15 each on fast food we decided to walk back to the Royal Mile where the tackiest souvenir shops were located. Along the way we passed by this side of the Scottish Academy which found a better place to put those silly painted cows that every major city in the world likes to foist upon the tourists.
