Day 2- Edinburgh Castle, Royal Mile, ghost tours, and pints!

We've been in Scotland for only one day and I'm in love already. The weather was gorgeous, there are just castles and sweet buildings EVERYWHERE.

We just came back from a ghost tour.. it was cool, but SUPER creepy... I was legitimately scared. There is SO much history in this city, it's nuts. I had my first "pint" ever tonight.. and we get carded everywhere, but 20 is legal for everything! I think we're going to an engagement party tomorrow.. it's so awesome staying with people who live here.

• sidenote: they have a soda here called "IRN BRU" and you can ONLY get it in Scotland- they tried to get it in the USA, but they have secret ingredients they won't reveal, and the FDA wouldn't let them sell it if they wouldn't tell the ingredients. it sort of tastes like a mixture of bubble gum and fanta, but it's almost inexplicable. haha... it was interesting! Also, Indian food is quite popular here... which is strange? But delicious:)
• Unicorns are EVERYWHERE here.. on crests, tapestries, artwork... I'm convinced they roamed the countryside here at one point.
• Boys actually wear kilts here.. like around! We looked at prom pictures, and girls wear fancy dresses and boys wear kilts.. SO CRAZY! it looks like our school uniform and knee highs... hahahhaha I laugh every time
