It’s Wednesday morning, August 8th. We are waiting to leave for our tour of the Scottish Highlands and I thought I would recap the last few days. We have attended nine different shows since Sunday and have really enjoyed them.
We saw a number of interesting acts including The Bubble Man.
And met some interesting people.
Even world leaders:
Her are a couple more pics to give you an aides of the feel,of The Fringe:
The old town of Edinburgh is built along a ridge and there are long narrow alleys that run perpendicular from the Ridge. They are called “closes” and are named after people who lived in dwellings along the close or activities that went on in the close.
We had a decent tour of the a preserved close that gave you an idea of the dwellings that used to front on to the closes with up to twenty people in a room and a bucket for a toilet.
