Exploring the city

We decided to go for a walk and started off through the park right by our flat. It’s a huge park! We ended up on The Royal Mile and walked up to the monuments on the hill called Calton hill. It was a gorgeous day with blue sky! It looked so pretty and peaceful with the snow. From way up here we could see every side of Edinburgh and the North Sea. Things are so expensive here because the dollar is down. It sounds cheap if a sandwich is 3 pounds, but it’s actually about 5 dollars. They also give you really small portions and the food is simple and very fresh. And becuase of the small portions, freshness and long walks to the stores... I have a feeling I will be making many small trips to the grocery store.
