Edinburgh Photo Diary (Days 5-7)

Here's a backlog of photos (taken on a real camera) that didn't make it onto the blog for one reason or another these past few days. Enjoy!

Contemplating some of life's bigger questions at Greyfriar's Kirkyard.

An imposing view of the castle, a constant presence in Edinburgh's Old Town.

Some fancy finger (and vocal) work at a subterranean jazz venue;
so underground the walls were rock.

The same Jazz Bar.

Time to bring in the big guns.

Lunching atop Calton Hill.

Yup, still lunching.

Faux ruins on Calton Hill.

An inquisition into all things botanical on Calton Hill.

Triple scoop ice cream with two "flakes" (wafers of chalky, but delicious, chocolate)

Magical beasts are known to roam the Kingdom of Scotland.

Princes Street Gardens on a (rare) lovely day. We had sunshine the whole week we were in Edinburgh..

Building a bank at the Banking Museum. Too big to fail?

View of a daycare from our hostel room. Why watch TV when there are BABIES?!

Effortless sophistication.

Time to EAT.

A scenic river pathway in Dean Village.

Dean Village.

Houses by the river in Dean Village.

Even the lawns here have a dry sense of humour: "There will be no miracles here."
At the Scottish Museum of Modern Art.

A very modern bathroom at the Museum of Modern Art.

A wry building title: "Everything is going to be alright." Thanks, building.

David: Sarah, you are so PUNY.
Sarah: eeek!

Tourists.

Yum. Getting a sugar fix on Grassmarket.

The stretch of the Royal Mile that we walk everyday to get home.

Game changer.

The first thing you see when you enter the terminal at Edinburgh airport: Ardbeg whisky (it's like drinking a bacon cigarette, but in a good way). I wouldn't have minded a nip at 4:40am when we arrived.

Getting on the plane to Ireland. More adventures to come!
