Greetings from Scotland
Edinburgh, normally a dour, dank, and dark Presbyterian city, becomes wild and teeming during the Edinburgh Festival.
The sun has been out a few times, and when it is bright here it is brilliant and the town is energetic and optimistic-- but when it clouds over (which is most of the time, especially in winter) becomes leaden and morose... then Thanks God for whisky. I am having a great time here, but I suspect that living here I would begin to crave scotch.
