Edinburgh, Day 3

We got up and went for breakfasts outside of the hotel, then went to Camera Obscura and World of Illusions (https://www.camera-obscura.co.uk/) a neat tourist exhibit that is pretty much what it sounds like. Lots of neat illusions and effects, but the coolest was a lens in the tower of the building that used light to display a live image into the room, on a concave wooden "bowl". You could see the people walking around, who were actually walking around outside, it was pretty cool. This lens show has been used here in this tourist attraction since the mid-1850's!

The rest of it was some typical illusions you might see elsewhere, but it was pretty good.

It was a cold day, but sunny, today, so we were continually hopping into stores as we roamed around.

I bought a nice cashmere scarf, and Tracy got a kilt skirt.

We visited the cemetery we went to on the ghost tour two nights ago. Some of the graves date back to the 1600's.

Not too much else.
