We begain Easter Sunday by sharing a breakfast of eggs, cereal, and (cue ominous music) haggis. Many had never tried it, and I would call this a success; it was almost enjoyed! We then attended an Easter service at the same church we went to for Good Friday. The regular pastor had returned and gave a sermon about "Voting for Jesus," as the entire service was themed after the British television program "The X Factor," similar to our American Idol. We enjoyed a lunch of chicken soup and sandwiches with the church and said goodbye, taking some Cadbury Creme Eggs with us.
A few of us decided to climb to the top of Calton hill to see some monuments, for the likes of Admiral Lord Nelson, it was quite windy, and more than a little treacherousat times. We then wandered down Prince's Street, explored a little bookstore, and ended up at the Elephant House once more. We relaxed and did some reading, then had dinner at another local pub.
Bryn and I went down to the hotel's pub to do some more reading and were invited to join the pub's pop quiz. Of course we knew almost no answers, but enjoyed drawing a large dinosaur eating a pear. A very celebratory Easter, if I do say so myself.
