Day 24

Can Scotland get any better?! I think not. This place is AMAZING!!!

Highlights for today include:
  • Edinburgh Castle
  • Scottish Crown Jewels at Edinburgh Castle
  • Hop on, hop off bus tour around the city
  • Scottish Parliament; the design was amazing and it was cool to learn about how their government worked
  • Calton Hill Monuments (everyone else climbed up onto the National Monument, but unfortunately I wasn't tall enough to reach it)
    • National Monument, Nelson's Monument, the Dugald Stewart Monument, the Political Martyrs' Monument
  • Spooky old cemeteries, including the graves of Adam Smith and David Hume, well-known economists (am I a business major or what?!)
  • 2-4-1 specials in a bar where we watched World Cup soccer; tonight's game was Chile and Brazil
