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).

Yeah, no problem. Tomorrow's my last day, but I can try to pick one up for you.

Oh, wonderful! Okay, the university shop was on that main street (Nichols? Clark? Main?) that runs perpendicular to the High Street and Princes Street. As you're walking away from High, it's on your left, after the bridge, I think. Well, it should be near the other university buildings. It's just a sticker for my rear window. It shouldn't cost that much, but whatever it is, I'll pay you back. Thank you!!

Looking at the map, I'm guessing that's North Bridge/South Bridge which as you go farther away from Princes St. and High St. turns into Nicolson St. and then Clerk St. and so on :)

(And Googling suggests 7-11 Nicolson Street as an address, so that sounds promising.)
