We got off to a late start and waited until 11 before leaving the hotel. We walked around the Royal Mile area to kill time before going over to The Library Pub at the Links Hotel where we supposed to go and watch the Ireland/Argentina rugby match, followed by the Scotland/New Zealand match. At least half the people from the wedding were there and Lindsay and Dave provide food and drinks. Both Ireland and Scotland lost so just about everybody left disappointed. Only us Americans, who don't know a damn thing about rugby, weren't too upset, although we were rooting for both Ireland and Scotland because the people here have been so good to us. I can't begin to describe how nice and gracious the families and friends of Dave and Lindsay have been. We stayed there for both matches, left around seven and went to dinner at an Italian restaurant. Nothing too exciting to eat there. Most everybody is leaving tomorrow, so it was quiet the rest of the evening and I fell asleep early.
I didn't get any pictures today, so I included some more wedding pictures. The cake was made by David's mother who does it professionally and has silhouettes of DC, Edinburgh, and Dublin. The top layer is lemon, the middle chocolate, and the bottom fruit cake. The picture doesn't really do it justice.

I have thoroughly enjoyed your adventures in Ireland and Scotland. I have been leaving "nice" comments about your eating habits -- can you say haggis -- but alas they are not being published. Stay safe on the trip home. Love from the three of us.
