    Around town after the museum

    September 27, 2016 in Scotland ⋅ 🌙 57 °F

    We decided to talk a walk in the remaining sunlight of the day instead of walking further within the museum. Slight bite to the wind, but the last bit of sunlight was very nice. Sunlight on the buildings was very nice, also.

    The first picture is the Augustine United Church across from the Edinburgh Library. The second photo shows the side of the Greyfriars Kirk with memorials for important persons attached to the side of the church.

    We walked down to the Grassmarket to try to find a place for dinner. Lots of pubs with various names and some quite cute, but almost all with the same menu. We finally settle upon a pub that had a slightly different menu, which served lamb shank for 10.95 pounds for Diane while Peter had an angus burger. We tried the stickie taffy cake that had been recomended as being very good by the American oilman, but it was quite sweet. We did pass a French Patisserie while we walked. Not every shop was a woolen shop. 😉

    We are realizing now that the trip is coming to an end. Tomorrow we travel to Glasgow to turn in the car and get ready to start the transition back to the other reality. It will be good to get back to our own home cooked meals and our comfy beds, however.
