three days in edinburgh

it may have been a blessing in disguise that my original plan to go to paris to meet up with T did not prosper. god had other plans.

i was in edinburgh since friday. we took the GNER train ride from london to aberdeen and got off in edinburgh. by we, i mean, r and myself. i stayed at the premier travel inn (£77 per night!!!) while r and her aunt-in-law stayed at the holiday inn.

i love edinburgh. it's very beautiful, very quaint and very rich in history. won't bore you with details but whatever bitterness i have against the french has been transformed into love, to all the scottish people we met in all of scotland.

one of the highlights of this sidetrip to this very pretty country was a quick trip to the now-famous rosslyn chapel where r and i spent a good part of our sunday before our trip back to london. too bad, we only spent three days in ediburgh. we could have spent more. the festivals are ongoing but the best ones will be happening in the next few days.

i can't wait to go back...
