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).

Hey! While you're in Edinburgh, do you think you could score me a new window decal for my car, from the University of Edinburgh? I can tell you where to look for one, and I'll pay you back. Please? I can't get my old one off my old car. :(

Enjoy Edinburgh!!! Isn't it beautiful? DEFINITELY go to Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat. That's where I took the picture in my icon.

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.)

Sorry. I went to the store and didn't see any decals in the display, so I asked if they had any. They said they used to a while ago but they don't now, though they're trying to restock.

Oh, well. Thank you for trying! I really appreciate it. I hope you had a good vacation. :)

No problem. And thanks. I definitely did have a good vacation.
