Edinburgh Tattoo 20-8-10

Walk around the river in Edinburgh.
 Edinburgh is packed with tourists for the Tattoo and Festivale. We had a good day wandering the city yesterday. Brenda went to the Museum and I went to the Art Gallery to see "The Impressionists Garden" Exhibition. This was the best exhibition with Monet's waterlillies Gaugin etc etc.
We walked around the river yesterday and it was very peaceful --away from the maddening crowds!
Great seats!!
Then we were back in them last night for the Tattoo. Crowds were packed along the Royal Mile----you had to wait for ages to get in but it was worth all the crowds and waiting!!The First Minister of Scotland spoke to me as he went to his box-----bit of a surprise!!
Massed pipe bands!!
It was just a night to remember--words are not enough for me!! Bit tearful in places as I loved it so much!! The bagpipes sure do stir the soul!! So I'll leave you with a photo!!

    Hi Zoe
    How lovely to hear from you!! I tried to send you an email at school but couldn't get it to work!! I do miss you too and sometimes I wish you were here to show you some of the beautiful sights I've seen. Tonight we are in Yotk after a big train ride from Edinburgh. I did love the Tattoo and felt a bit emotional about the experience--so lovely. I do miss you darling and all our family. You are very special and I send you kisses and hugs across the oceans too. Love Nanxxxxxx
