For quite a while, I couldn't export pictures from my camera to my computer. I am not sure exactly why this was, but now, thanks to a the purchase of a memory card reader, the problem has been resolved. So, without further ado...pictures!

This is the entrance to Rosslyn Chapel. You might remember this chapel from The Da Vinci Code. This is where Dan Brown alleged that Mary Magdalene's remains were buried. That is a load of crap, of course, but it is still an interesting and beautiful chapel.

This is the interior of the chapel.
Moving on, later in the week a large group of international students hiked up "Arthur's Seat." This is a small mountain on the edge of town. Here are a few pics:

And above, a view from the top!
Here I am at the summit. It is clearly very windy.

The next weekend took us to Loch Lomond, the largest inland body of water in the UK. There is also a good song about it...

I will post the full photo albums from all of these jaunts on facebook, and, for those of you without facebook, webshots. Check 'em out.

These look great -- I heard Arthur's Seat was a must for Edinburgh! We are having my b-day party here next week and I wish you could be here for it, BUT it sounds like you're having a great time (and having some parties there as well). I would ask about Loch Ness, but I see Dad already has, so I'm sure you'll put up some photos if you go...

Wonderful pix. When did ARthur sit there, one wonders?
