Back from dinner (or for about an hour now) and we went to the Elephant Room, which is the place that JK Rowling wrote the first book!! It was small, cute, and the food not too bad. It is a cafe, so nothing elaborate. We were told the seat/table she sat in while there too. We didn't sit near it or anything.
This is completely random, but the beef here tastes different. It's a different texture and slightly different in taste. It seems to be the norm, also, to have salads with VERY little dressing or none at all. I find it intriguing (don't mind it either) since you're ALWAYS asked what kind of dressing you want on your salad in the US (unless it's a pre-determined dressing, of course). The bacon is different too. It reminds me more of ham than the bacon I'm used to. It's quite nice, to be honest.
Anyway, Maria and I walked around Old Town Edinburgh after we got settled in the hostel. We walked around for some hours. I think we know most of Old Town pretty well now. We're waiting to do the castle till tomorrow since Kate arrives then. We're also going to go see OotP tomorrow and know the theater. We're going to see it before we go and "queue" up for the book at Waterstones. Man, walking up that hill back to our hostel at night is not going to be fun, but oh well. We'll have the book!
Coming back from walking with 1.5 hours till we met up with the Leaky people for dinner, we went back to the hostel (looking in the shops on the way). I fell asleep! So did Maria! We were to meet them at 8:30 at Deacons and Maria wakes me up at 8:25! Lucky for us the Deacon is really close to our hostel. We got there a few minutes late, not too bad.
The funny thing when coming back is Maria and I found out the lighting in our room in the hostel is not good at all. It won't be good for reading. Lucky for me I brought a booklight, but Maria and Kate will have to fight for the light from the one in the room. :P
Anyway, Maria just asked me if I'm writing another novel and we haven't done much since, so I probably should go.
