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).

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.
