Real Mary King's Close was rated 2024's top UK attraction by TripAdvisor. We visited it and St. Giles Cathedral on our first full day.

Craigmillar Castle is Edinburgh's OTHER castle, but is in beautiful ruins.

I love "The Crown," although I'm not a royalist. A has watched the episode about the royal yacht's decommission, so we visited it.

A wee bit of Scotland - A and I travelled to Edinburgh this past summer. We stayed at the Ocean Mist Leath and visited Cramond Beach first.

C$ and I went to the poppy field to try out some jumbo bubbles I won at a winery bingo tournament. (Those words are nonsense together.)

Day 2 of poppies in south Ames.

A bucket list of mine was fulfilled when I got to visit a poppy field that was planted in south Ames. I visited several times; this is 1st.

The Windy City. Chi-Town. Second City (which begs the question - where is First City?). I'm sure there are other nicknames for Chicago.
