Goodbye, England! Hello, Scotland!

Day 17:

So we were on a bus for nine hours today.  I didn't have much to do except take pictures of the scenery going by, so here are some of those pictures.  Once we got here, we got our rooms at Dalkeith Palace (a old manor house that belonged to a Duke that sits on 800 acres of woods and fields), took a little walk to the bus stop, got dinner at a local pizza place (YUMMY minestrone soup and garlic cheese bread!!), and came back to explore the palace a bit.  We found a secret passage in our room and checked to see if it went to Narnia or to the Room of Requirement or anywhere else particularly exciting (it didn't...sadly).  Tomorrow, we'll venture into Edinburgh to start our library tours and other adventures!
