This morning we said goodbye to England.  This afternoon we said hello to Scotland.  Here’s a panoramic picture of our hotel in the Lake District: the Whoop Hall Inn.  It was great being back there.  This time included a stroll or two in the area public walking path and a couple of good shots of our second sunset in the area (pictured above).

I type this in Edinburgh, where our night ended in some good Italian food and a nice walk around the city (with beautiful shots of the castle and with music provided by a local bagpipe player).  More on that later, though.
