There are bookstores EVERYWHERE!!!

The pubs really are stunning...
Stan had a meeting here:

On the higher street of Victoria Street:
And Stan looking over, facing the other way, up Victoria Street:
We really haven't been doing the touristy stuff. We've mostly been walking - trying to get to know the neighborhoods and get our bearings. Truly, everything is within walking distance in Edinburgh, but there can be some tremendous hills from point A to B. Everywhere, we're surrounded by ancient and old architecture butting up against the new. And everywhere, people smile. This has got to be the friendliest town I've ever been to - hands down.
More coming soon!
