Spring Break: Edinburgh

The last few days of the trip were spent in Edinburgh. The grand finale of the tour of Castles and Palaces stopped at Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, the Queens official residence in Edinburgh.

Despite the sun, Edinburgh was still quite cold, although every shop owner and taxi driver thanked my parents for bring the warm California weather with them. We walked the Royal Mile, had tea at a palace (alright I had tea in the cafe next to the palace), and saw plenty of tartan trousers.

Our trip ended with a nice stroll around Arthur's Seat in the sunlight. It's been almost two weeks since I left Edinburgh and I haven't seen the sun since then.
