My trip to Edinburgh!!!

[VampHeartless]

Well, I totally just got back from Edinburgh, Scotland!! It was very nice...and there was some "Tatoo" festival going on that I didn't even know about, but it seemed pretty big. I learned...

Only old wrinkly guys there actually wear kilts.

Bagpipes only sound good if a person actually knows how to play them!!

And even then it's a fifty/fifty chance!

Don't try to ask out the cannibals in "The Dungeon". (It's a haunted house....the "cute" cannibal picked her nose and tried to get me to eat it.

I mean....she really had her finger way up there!!!

The overfull graveyard tour took place on a hill that had over three hundred thousand dead people.

In fact, the hill we were standing on used to be a valley!!

The ghost tour guide was a redheaded chick...she was WAAAAY CUTE!!

And she liked poetry! (Hey, I love poetry!)

But I still didn't talk to her.

The Hilton is totally not worth it...300 dollars, and the room wasn't much better than the "El Rancho" I stayed in back in OR for ten bucks.

The guy in the dungeon asked me..."Is the American all by himself? You don't have any friends? Why don't you use your foriegn policy and invade some?"

Loser...

Still, a fun short trip!! There was an awesome castle, and it had this beautiful tiny little chapel inside for ten people..."St. Margeret's Chapel" That would be the most romantic place to get married in!

Now...maybe I can call the place and track down that redhead...

Sounds like an interesting trip, Vamp. Also sounds like some of those Scots are weird even if they were putting on a show (e.g. the nose-picking cannibal and the guy in the dungeon ). I'm sure most were nice, though. I hope you can track down that cute redhead and read her some poetry !

Do you know the name of the castle?? I would just love to know, Vamp. I have kind of a castle fascination!

So Vamp is now chanting along with the Pirates... "We wants the REDHEAD!"

Glad you had fun!!

The castle in Edinburgh that was mentioned in the original post is probably Edinburgh Castle.

Thanks for sharing. I remember my short weekend trip to Scotland. I couldn't believe how much everyone looked like the people on my father's side of the family. It was wonderful to see people that had the same pale coloring as me.

I loved touring the castles. It sounds like you had a good time. The bagpipe music made my morning. It definately made me think of my Dad.
