Today in Edinburgh we took a stroll down The Royal Mile. The city is very much split between 'old' and 'new' and The Royal Mile is very obviously part of the 'old'. Its a great walk lined with all sorts of shops and at the end is the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the residence of the queen whenever she is in town.
Also at the end of the street is the Scottish Parliament in a very modern building that sticks out among the small stone structures around it. At Parliament we were able to take in a session and watch them vote, something that would take you a letter to your congressman and weeks of waiting in the US.
