Now that I've had a few days to reflect on the sojourn to Scotland, I can only say that the glow has not faded, anything but . . . it has been burnished to a shine!
We saw a lot of theater; from South Africa, New Zealand (the Modern Maori Quartet!), China, Canada, Ireland and even one from the US! The South African adaptation of Miss Julie, into Mies Julie was probably the best, a real stunner; but a very close second was the solo piece, Pike St., by a lady from NYC.
We stepped outside the Fringe to see a couple of productions in the Edinburgh International Festival, Krapp's Last Tape, with Barry McGovern and Don Giovanni (coming soon to NYC, you might not want to miss it if you're in the area!).
We even checked out one of the comedians, who was a lot of fun. And then there were street performers everywhere.
On Sunday morning before flying out, Bette and I got one more chance to spend a few hours in the city and went to the National Gallery, which was an eye opener as well.
All in all it's an exciting time to be in a beautiful city.
As if that weren't enough we had three days sprinkled throughout to see a bit of the country side with one day trip up to the highlands.
No . . . I didn't drive! That was all Scott and Wallace. The opposite side thing I could get used to, the left hand gear shift would have been harder!
We ate great food (but no haggis) and downed a few pints . . . and walked . . . a lot!
All in all an unforgettable experience.
