I'm writing this quick post from a pub in the wonderful old Murrayfield Hotel in Edinburgh. We arrived here around 7 p.m. tonight - it was a really long bus ride from London! We left at about 8:40 this morning and stopped three times for about 30 minutes each time. Most of us snoozed about half the way. It was a big bus and there are just 11 of us.
Edinburgh - what we have seen so far - is quaint and beautiful. I love it here. I'm in awe that 200+ years ago, my ancestors lived in this country and now I am here.
I love our hotel and will post photos tomorrow. We're on the first floor - about 10 stairs up from the lobby. No lift but we're very used to steps by now.The room is tiny but clean and comfortable.
We came down here for a quick dinner and have ended up sitting here for quite some time. It's fun to people-watch. There are some drinking guys beside us who appear to be having a fine old time. Earlier we helped a foursome beside us settle a bar bet by looking something up on the Web. Friendly Americans, we are!
More later this weekend. I am just so excited to be here in Scotland - it's a dream come true for me!

This sounds like a really neat trip - can't wait to see some pictures. If you see any of our long lost cousins tell them hello from me.
I will tell Mocha you made it safely!
Please post some photos of Keith in his kilt!
