Edinburgh!

This city is something one can hardly describe!  Though I have really enjoyed living in Glasgow, the beauty of Edinburgh is breathtaking.  I traveled there last weekend, for a two day trip, with a group of international students.

We toured around the Royal Mile on Saturday afternoon and finished the day with a hike up Arthur's Seat.  The view from the top was incredible!  Well worth the hike up.  Sunday was another hike to Carlton Hill where you can see the other side of the city and especially Edinburgh castle.  A walking tour was the closing of the trip where we learned a lot about the great and harsh past of Edinburgh.
