Hi Again -
I had very different day. We drove to a train station, we waited around for a long time, it seemed to me, and then we got on the train and looked out the window and saw an old bridge that collapsed into the Firth of Forth in Fife (this is a bay in the North Sea off the Atlantic Ocean) (this is a tongue twister). We looked out the window until we got there.
We arrived in Edinburgh and we walked up a long hill to the Edinburgh Castle. My dad ruptured his Achilles tendon so we had to push him up the hill to the castle in a wheelchair. We saw an empty moat around the castle and crossed a draw bridge. We saw the crown jewels of Scotland they were cool - we saw a sword, a sceptre, a ring, and a crown. We saw loads of cannons. They shot out giant cannon balls (300 pounds) that flew for two miles. I wonder how they would lift those up? We went down into the vaults of the castle where prisoners of war were kept, some of them were Americans from the Revolutionary War.
After the castle we went to St. Giles' Cathedral. It was amazing. All the stained glass was awesome. The ceilings were really high up (maybe 60 feet tall) and there were loads of side rooms.
We went home on the train. The End.
