Scotland Day 3

Day three we went to a Kirk down the street with a Cemetery, then talked to a British SAS former commando who was an historian and was a huge pleasure to talk with, (maybe more on him later, he was better than 5 museums). And then we had a shopping day on the royal mile, which is a mile long full of Scottish shops, my favorites being the shop i got my kilt at (plus other things) and the thrift/used shop where I bought a thing or two as well, (little Bear & Mrs. Wheeler showed me these, and got me a cheaper price for everything i bought at the kilt store).

Then we did the Celtic Tour which was absolutely amazing, history and evangelism on the streets of Edinburgh at night, look for the pics with 'John Knox'. At a statue of the Famous Philosopher Hume (sp) 'John' put the ten commandments back on the tablet that had been wiped clean, also notice the other tablet being tread under foot. He then preached there, going through the ten commandments as a the gospel, (like many of us do at home) it was awesome!!! Anyways, see my disorganized, pics below with no headings.
It's now past 1:00am here, I'm going to bed; the most stunning pics are from today (day 5) and this is only up to through day 3, so i am sorry, today was the most beautiful, incredible place i ever saw, Little bear called it the "Climax of the the trip"..... ;)
