2004-09-17 | Edinburgh, United Kingdom I woke up and I said goodbye to my Israeli friends; gave them a postcard. The fire alarm woke me up today. I made it to the front desk just in time to get my 10 P deposit back.

Today I saw the amazing British museum. It had everything from all over the world and I especially liked the Parthenon Sculptures.

After that (I spent about two hours) I went into a tourist shop with cheesy gifts. I bought a pair of boxers that I will remember London the most. They say "Mind the Gap". That's what the subway says every time you leave to make sure everyone (even the dumb American tourists) gets off safe. After that I went back to the hostel and picked up my backpack and went on the internet. I tried loading all my pics and putting them on the internet but the connection seemed to refuse the pics. I was pissed. I lost two pounds.

After that I went to the train and had a nice long conversation with two very nice English people. This really helped with my overall impression of the Britts.

So I am here in the Hostel and on AIM right now. I booked a 5 to 6 day adventure across Scotland. I will be traveling all across the country (even the isle of Skye) with Macbackpackers.com. It is going to be a blast. Even though it interferes with the planned Super Smash Bros Melee tournament.... I am not here to play video games. Take care everyone. Thanks for the emails. I am having a great time.
