Edinburgh
Day Eight was a little lazier than usual, though we were
still up early, exploring the city.
Our stops included Edinburgh Castle.
One of the places I remember in Edinburgh is a restaurant
called The Witchery. My friend Betsy and I had ducked in there decades before
to get out of the rain and grab a bite to eat. It was still in the same
spot. We managed to get dinner reservations when we first arrived in Scotland and
looked forward to a nice meal.
Funny how I can’t remember what I did two days ago, but I
remembered exactly where we sat 33 years ago and even what I had to eat. I have
no idea why it’s stuck in my brain all these years, but it was fun to go back
and revisit this old haunt.
After dinner we had important business to take care of. The
US Women’s team was playing England for the Soccer/Football World Cup. The evening
before we’d scouted out a couple possible locations to watch the match and it
was time to settle our rears on a couple of pub stools and enjoy the game.
It was a great match and the US Women won, which made the night just a little bit extra special.
