Our friend Vince was kind enough to give me some pointers. <br /><br />I am like you about "touristy" places. I suppose they are like that because, obviously, they are worth seeing. And even though I might complain about crowds, I'm adding to the problem by being there!Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978016568840318921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-36424008209823545342017-08-06T21:36:26.952-07:002017-08-06T21:36:26.952-07:00I love the castles and palaces too.

I'm shocked I've never heard of Holyrood Palace! I will have to research it more, I love all of the UK castles and palaces. Looking forward to the rest of your photos!

And we went over bridges, beautiful ornate bridges, only to look down and see the train station instead of water. I was definitely discombobulated in Scotland. Normally I'd have worked very hard to fix that situation, but I didn't really have the energy to care. I was a good follower this trip. :)Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-92054658422892994272017-08-05T10:42:32.954-07:002017-08-05T10:42:32.954-07:00It was definitely out of place amongst all those o...It was definitely out of place amongst all those older structures. Every time we passed it, it grew on me a little more.

But there it was a pleasant surprise.Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-88477003751957059122017-08-05T00:55:59.967-07:002017-08-05T00:55:59.967-07:00That city is odd even to us here.

Here towns were built on the north side. And while you may not have taken that in in a aware way it remains backwards. Of course it could also be the hills looking alike and being north and south of the old town, so when you get a glimpse flips your direction in your head.

I'm not against modern architecture at all, but there are features to this one I'm not sure I like. <br /><br />This is fun and I look forward to all your vacation posts! :DKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-66050527748049044452017-08-04T08:15:34.091-07:002017-08-04T08:15:34.091-07:00That is perhaps my favorite thing about living up ...That is perhaps my favorite thing about living up north. The summer nights last forever! But we pay for it in winter with those months that we essentially live in the dark. Living in Iowa seems to be a good compromise!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.com
