Just back from my week at Camp Wingmann and catching up on your adventures. It was a great week, and everyone says "Hi." Don't you love the English gardens? I'd love to have a beautiful garden like that, if only I didn't have to actually do the work!

A view of the Queen's Gardens behind the Palace of Holyroodhouse. A view of the same garden from the back - pretty tricky disguising the wall! Emily on top of the Salisbury Crags looking over Edinburgh Cary in front of Adam Smith's grave....this picture is particularly for Les and Richard. The inside of Canongate Church...so much blue. The kitchen of the Georgian House (a pic from the web since we couldn't take pictures inside). A picture of the last room added to Gladstone's land - same deal as above with the picture. The inner courtyard of Holyroodhouse Wow! What a day. Sadly our time in Edinburgh is complete – except one more excellent breakfast tomorrow morning. We had five items on our agenda today and we were able to complete all of them before dinner. We started the morning by riding the Lothian bus #30 all the way to the end of Princes Street and went into the New Town. We went to one of the original squares on the end of the New Town – Charlotte Square....

We will be leaving for Puerto Rico on Saturday, July 20, 2009. We will be there for a week staying four days in the El Yunque Rainforest and three days in San Juan Viejo (Old San Juan). We will update this blog daily. We are planning to do this blog in two ways. The top of each blog entry will be pictures and captions to give you a quick overview of the day. Below that we will have a more lengthy entry that gives a lot more detail. We aren't really expecting most of you to read this part, it is mostly for our own documentation to keep a record of our travels. We know our moms will probably read this too, but most of you probably don't care to know that much detail of our days and we aren't really vain enough to think you do! :) We are thinking of trying some audio blogs inspired by Gram and Hannah, but I'm not sure it will happen this year. This will definitely be a different experience than last year...but one we're sure to enjoy! We hope you enjoy it too. ...

These are the remains of St. Mary's Abbey. The wall in the middle perpendicular to the longer wall on the side was where the central tower stood, just as high as the one we climbed in the Minster. Emily kneeling behind one of the Roman coffins littered throughout the Museum Gardens. Emily standing under the reconstructed arch that lead to the Chapter House of the Abbey. The column on the left was mostly original, while the one on the right was entirely reconstructed. If you enlarge the picture you can pick out the older stones that were used to model the rest. Emily standing beside the statue of St. John the Evangelist that was part of one of the columns in the Chapter House. Cary standing on the edge of the wall on the South end of town. You can see the Minster towers in the background. We could tell why York was the number two city of England - it was huge for a medieval city. Emily cautiously standing under the drain for the toilet on the Fishergate Bar. Emily posing in a p...
