Off to Scotland!

Today is day seven of our trip and we are having a fantastic time! We spent the morning in York and then got on another train to Edinburgh! So this evening we are officially in Scotland. We got here too late this evening to do anything so we had dinner in the hotel restaurant and then we're going to head to sleep. We plan on getting up really early tomorrow morning because we really only have tomorrow here. So we are going to cram a lot in!

As a side note, let's have a little discussion about the bathrooms on trains, ok? I had the distinct privilege of being forced to use one today and they are abhorrent. Think to yourself what it is like to try to go to the bathroom on an airplane. Then imagine that the airplane is rocking from side to side. Also, permit yourself to imagine what it would be like to have sheets of Kleenex for toilet paper and no seat covers. If you know me at all, you know that I found this to be deplorable. Completely unacceptable.

Also, since there were no new sights seen today, I thought I would share with you all a smattering of the unusual signs we have seen so far on our trip:

• The English are especially proud of their trouser presses. Unbelievably proud. There is one in every hotel room in England. The first picture is extremely detailed instructions on how to use one.
• Talk about setting up your children for disappointment--their child care centers are called SmartyPants. Where might you send a less than intelligent child? Dumbasses?
• The final one is my favorite. This requires no explanation. I am five years old.

That is all for now! More tomorrow!
