I couldn't get to Edinburgh because when I got to the train station I found I didn't have all the necessary cards to get my youth discount, so the trip would have cost $150 instead of $100. That sounded like a bad call to me, and by the time I went to get them I would have gotten up to Scotland much too late.
I decided to save the trip for tomorrow, and so bumbled around Leeds for a while; it's a really nice city, actually, with a lot of people and growth and excitement but with less pressure than London.
In the afternoon I went back to the house and toured Baildon with Angela's mom, then took a walk out on the moors, which were small but beautiful.
The timer function on my camera makes it look like I have friends!This evening we watched some old British TV comedies, "Father Ted" and "The Vicar of Dibley", which were funny and quirky and looked very much like they were shot in 1980. What is it about British TV? It all looks slightly fake, like Masterpiece Theater.
Tomorrow is Edinburgh. I will not be denied.

umm sorry there Crouton, but 'Father Ted' is Irish...didn't you recognise the accent?
I guess I'll forgive you.
Ah yes, you learned the secret of all solo travelers. A timer function on the camera is essential. My family is having to endure many shots of me in Ecuador just like that. Have fun!
