June 25th- Edinburgh

Alrighty well today we woke up, got ready and headed north of Edinburgh towards Alien Rock Climbing Center. There is actually 2 climbing centers, Alien Rock 1 and 2. They are both in the area off of center edinburgh called Leigh. So we caught a bus and went up there...we arrived at Alien Rock 1 only to find out it really is only for pros and that you have to be trained in belaying and such to climb there. They said we could go to alien rock 2 though, which is less huge and proffesional, although it didn't open till 4 pm. So then we were faced with 3 hours to kill. We got some lunch and hung out in a park watching old people "bowl" on a lawn. It was very scottish. Eventually 4 oclock arrived and we went to the second climbing center. We stayed there till about 8 or so and then caught the bus back. Now we're enjoying pizza and one last glass of wine, since its almost our last night here. Tomorrow morning we stall until our train at 1 PM goes to London.
We won't write in the morning and probably wont have internet at our hotel in London so this is probably our last blog from Europe. Thanks so much to all of you who read it and kept up with our adventures. Hopefully our ramblings weren't ever to boring. Love to you all and can't wait to see you in the States.
Jane and Tucker



PS-Mom I'll write a postcard to Grandpa and then send it the moment I get home! Its just to hard to send it here...love you

Man. The time has certainly flown by. It's been a lot of fun reading about your adventures and I can't wait to here more in person in the next few days.

The fact that you both won't be in Europe anymore and be in Iowa instead is weird for some reason.
