Telecommuting while on the move is pretty intense. We wake up early and get out to see a bit of town and then come back home to work. We get out again for dinner and then come back to continue working. We finish around midnight. And then repeat again the next day.



With so many experiences crammed in together over a short time period memories start to jumble. However, our days are never boring, we see something new every day, and we enjoy spending more time with kids. In addition to having a much improved endurance, they seem to have grow more mature as well. They have fascinating discussions among themselves and their inputs into our conversations have us burst out laughing almost every day. So telecommuting is awesome!!


Today we went for a walk down the Royal Mile. Edinburgh is one of the prettiest cities we visited. It is filled with a great quantity of amazingly beautiful buildings. It would be good place to come back to for the summer. Its narrow medieval alleys have secrets to tell, I am sure of it. Because it is surrounded by the mountains and is situated on the multiple levels it reminded us of a colder Nordic version of Lisbon, but the one without the blue tiles, clean, and in perfectly restored state.

We walked to the summer Royal Residence in
Holyrood Palace and saw amazing Da Vinci exhibition in Queen's gallery. Da Vinci did substantial research in human anatomy. He performed countless autopsies, not something looked at favorably in those times, and experimented with different preservation methods. His talented drawings and detailed anatomical descriptions would have really progressed medical field further but they were pretty much lost until early 1900s and by that point it has progressed on its own. Georgia was a bit grossed out by the images but understood their significance.


For dinner we went out to Phuket Fountain for Thai. Highly recommended. Even Isabella ate there - and normally she goes not experiment beyond pasta and toast. Further on the gastronomic front Dima expanded our discoveries of what the city has to offer with some great whisky. If anyone is a connoisseur, this is a place to be. The variety is staggering.
