We're Here!

So we've actually been in Edinburgh now for 48 hours...sorry for the delayed post! Since the moment we arrived we've been going non-stop trying to find a place to live, get mobile phones, open a bank account...and generally just get our bearings and our feet beneath us. We've SO many stories for you already, but will have to hold off on the long posts/pictures until we have access to internet for less than a pound a minute... :)

There've been a few things that have struck us right away though:
1. The city is absolutely beautiful. The apartment we're in the process of leasing is right on High Street (aka the Royal Mile)--we are literally across the street from St. Giles cathedral, down the road from Edinburgh Castle, and two blocks north of "The End of the World" (an old belief now marked by a pub).
2. The festival is going on and the streets are just PACKED with people, tourists and performers...Tony took us around the city today and helped us get the lay of the land; SO much to do and to see...we can't wait to get our apartment and start making this home.

...there are so many other things that we will expound upon, observations, feelings and stories, but it's been a long day of walking and we're eager to get back to our beds to relax for the evening...again, we're hoping to move into our apartment this weekend and get internet connected as soon as possible...then we'll get pictures posted and give you all a bit more of a look at where we're at.

Cheers till then! :)
