Guest Blog #2... should be 4

So I have another guest blog from visitors. Although it should be the fouth or fifth said blog, certain ungreatful guests have not sent one and their window has now passed! Anywho neither here nor there here is guest blog number 2 from Alicia!

For us, Edinburgh was full of amazing sites and very special friends!! We really enjoyed our time with Rachel and Allie, who, ever so graciously gave us somewhere to hang our hats. Despite the ridiculous heat wave in Edinburgh we managed to see many different things. Luckily Rachel had not seen everything yet; we went to the museum and climbed the Scott Monument. The museum contained an overwhelming amount of items.... luckily David and Rachel stumbled upon the child's section and were more than willing to dress-up in costumes (refer to Facebook for pictures)!! We had some good laughs and learned a little bit about history as well!
Climbing the Scott Monument was interesting....... There was a lot of stairs but the kicker was that as you climbed, the staircase narrowed.... there was definitely awkward touching of strangers as one group passed another climbing in the opposite direction. Rachel had one of her priceless moments on our way down, I will try to put it in words, but I am afraid I may not do it justice. (Rachel please correct me if needed). We had to descend in a single file, I was in front and Allie followed me, then came David and Rachel. Once we reached one of the rest spots, another man decided to budge into our line (Rachel was not aware of this) so when she shouted in a hysteric voice that she was flying [But I think she meant falling], she assumed she was screaming at David but in fact it was actually line budger and she had to try and follow this man the rest of the way down laughing the whole time. It was great, such a Rachel moment.
Anyway needless to say we had a great time and I am so pleased that we were able to visit her and meet Allie. Thanks again for your hospitality ladies!! Rachel I can't wait to see you again... come back to Canada soon and come visit me in Prince George :)
