WE MADE IT TO EDINBURG, SCOTLAND!

We woke up this morning so excited….we were heading to Scotland….tonight!  We decided to enjoy a relaxing morning, and it felt soooo good!  But it wasn’t long before we were repacked and on our way to the Dublin Airport!  And there we found our perch for the rest of the day!

Beverages were involved, of course, and so was lunch and, finally, Happy Hour!

The boys took in some serious window shopping!

Our flight was delayed about an hour, but we finally made it to Edinburgh!  We all agreed that it felt like a much older city than Dublin!  We got settled in our medieval looking Airbnb (on the outside, happily, not on the inside!) and walked down the street to look for a place to eat dinner.  

Several restaurants were already closed (it was almost 10:00PM) but we found a delightful Turkish cafe, Ada, that was open and the staff greeted us warmly!  Turkish food was a first for Tim and Susan!  John ordered Raki for he and Tim (Susan and I promptly declined)!

The meal started with hummus and warm, right-out-of-the-oven, bread,  YUM!

It also included plates of Baba Ghanoush; pickled onions; chicken kabobs, falafel, and lamb kabobs, all served with scrumptious vegetables and rice!  It was soooo DELICIOUS! 

And then we promptly walked home, our bellies FULL, and went directly to bed, where we proceeded to gain five pounds each!  Can’t wait to explore Edinburgh in the morning!
