Thin Roads and Big Glens

2004-09-23 | Glassgow and Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Today we woke up and I was super tired from staying up all night. We drove most of the day but we stopped by a hairy coo farm (got another good pic). At least they didn't smell this time. Driving today we went down these one lane roads that we barely fit in. I talked a lot about Denmark with my new friend Rosalina for a little. I learned some crazy things about how their government works. Their whole country is as left as they come and they pay like 60 percent taxes.

We went to the Wallace memorial as well today, that was alright. I wish I had gotten to see his sword, but that would have cost like 6 pounds.

2004-09-24 | Edinburgh, United Kingdom

When I woke up I immediately went to a free walking tour of the city. We went up and down the royal mile which is the heart of the city. Our guide spoke of how the city was built and also mentioned how people would throw their waste into the street even if there is someone standing there! The city used to be extremely unsanitary and the black plague hit the worst here.

He also showed us some of the buildings that are 200 years older than the US. Some of which they used to torture people accused of witch craft.

Another interesting place was the door where they used to nail someone's ear to if the seller sold an incorrect amount of sugar or something to someone. They might get like 8 hours nailed to the door. People could piss on them or throw rotten vegetables. Some who were impatient would rip part of their ear off which would be bad because people would trust them because they didn't finish their
