We worked hard now it is time to play hard

And when I say play hard I mean walk FOREVER!!!!  Holy cow Gary and Deborah reported on their fit bits over 12,000 steps just before dinner. I am not so sure I want to play anymore working might have been easier hehe. Anyway we toured edinburgh castle and took a driving tour around Edinburgh. We then wen to Holyroodhouse palace (where the Queen of Scots "Supposedly" lives, but I did not see her).
 Here is the inevitable group picture, that every group must endure, and if you are with this group must endure many times
 After 30 cameras and 60+ shots above we had to do a silly pose
 Thean we moved it outside, just in case someone thought we were in the bahamas, I photoshopped the Overtoun House in the background, so you know we are definately not in the bahamas.
 Bradley pretending to be a guard
 And now he is a spy.
 This is our Bus that we are riding around in today. It seems to like wee,
 And here is the door we go in with Bradley and I first to be there, because my FEET HURT!!! Refer back to original post with 12.000 steps if you can not figure out why
 Here is the name of the company that runs the Wee Red Bus.
 Ok Here is the Necrobus, I mean really that is pretty creepy, you can look it up online to see more of the hearse/bus.
 And here is the advertisement on the side, that will make you quiver or laugh in your boots.

 OK this bus was flying by me and I could not get the picture fast enough for you to read the words, but, The blue cap is actually for additives, and the gray cap is for diesel. I just found that really interesting
 Edinburgh real estate office for dummies. This really seems to be where they find the latest listings. So much for the MLS and realtor.com.
 Awesome looking Taxi. OK maybe not awesome, closer to really weird but hey I made you look.
 Our tour guide was trying to educate me on what all these statues we were passing were, but I did not remember even a tenth of what he said, so here is a statue of a dead guy they really like in Edinburgh.
 This is on the gates to holyroodhouse palace. What an amazing piece of Architecture, or it could have been on sale at Costco when they were building it.

 Scintilating architecture, lovely designs, delicate designed piece of really heavy concrete that looks like it has not been washed for a while.
 Everyone loves to see the pretty flowers
 Bradley found another guard box, and if you look real close he has an audio device in his hand that looks like a cell phone. That device poured a ton of information right into my left ear (and out of my right). That was enginious how they kept you moving and teaching you at the same time.
 Just purty, 2 horses playing footsie
 Great paintjob
 Heads of monks that were at the abbey, or just some random faces in the crowd you decide.
 Our awesome pastor and his grammar correcting wife hehe. Susan asked me to take a picture of them with her camera and I snuck this one with mine.
Way cool cliffs outside the palace, and what you can not see is the 50 or so hikers on the hills hiking.
