offsetting the distress of the previous entry

The flight to Edinburgh was fine, and on the bus ride from the airport was just gorgeous -- which was even more striking because it was just residential houses.

I hadn't realized the Fringe Festival was going on as well [The Bacchae is the International Festival, so it hadn't occurred to me to see if there were other festivals going on at the same time], so in addition to street musicians and street performers, I took in 3 theatre performances last night (including Corpus Christi, which I cried through so much of). Oh, and I tried absinthe (and was unimpressed).

Hi... friends with Allison...

Hi, I'm friends with Allison... and also in Edinburgh, but I was here for the Fringe, as well as my grandmother trying to buy me a ticket to the Military Tattoo, and well because it seemed like a good idea. Where are you staying? Do you want to meet up for coffee or a drink or something?

I'm staying at the Backpacker's Hostel (http://homepage.edinburghbackpackers.com/) (it's behind the Princes St. Burger King). Tomorrow's my last day, but I definitely have time for coffee or whatever. My UK mobile (number in previous post) is probably the best way to reach me, since Internet access at the hostel is limited and costs money.

Sorry we didn't get to meet up. Hope you enjoyed your time in Edinburgh.

Yeah, I'm actually still here. I kind of got stuck. Edinburgh has become my traveling quicksand. I'm sorry we didn't get to meet up as well. I didn't actually realize you were here until you were gone I guess. I'm sure we'll meet one day.
