What a day! Today we took one of our best tours yet - a tour of the city underneath Edinburgh! Mary King's Close, as it's called, is an area underneath Edinburgh that used to be the old city of Edinburgh. The tops of the buildings were chopped off and the new city was built on top of the old one, leaving a small part of the old town nearly intact. The tour was so interesting, but dark! Our tour guide was pretty crazy, but Luke kept him under wraps with some seriously intriguing questions. I love that kid! It was so hard to believe that people once lived down there - especially since they lived down there during the time of the plague. That was slightly creepy - along with a room that is claimed to be haunted by a little girl. I didn't see her, and I'm not sure that I will believe it until I see it. :]
We had our last dinner as a class together at a small place called Maxie's. It was so delicious!!! We ordered a few bottles of wine (not too expensive though) to go along with our dinner, and we mainly just talked about our trip thus far and how much we had enjoyed our time together. I really will miss some of the friends that I have made on this trip. I'm glad that I was able to share this experience with a great group of people!
Tomorrow: We are off to London!
