Sunny day!

It was a beautiful, sunny day in Edinburgh yesterday. I slept in and then decided to go to Calton Hill to take photos and read the paper. Calton Hill has a great view of Arthur's Seat as well as an observatory, a monument to Lord Nelson and an acropolis (an unfinished monument meant to be a replica of the Parthenon but they ran out of money and now it is known as Edinburgh's shame). I sat up there in the sun reading the paper trying to take a moment to breathe it all in. It's been so fast paced since we got here that I thought I needed a few hours of chilling. Then I walked over to the Calton cemetary, another beautiful old cemetary. Took some photos. Found a woman eating her lunch amidst the gravestones. Of course took a picture of her. I've been loving taking photos. It has been really relaxing. I'm going to get my film camera out today.

We all met at the theatre yesterday after our day off. Everyone filling each other in on their adventures. Jayne went to a seaside town called North Berwick yesterday. She loved it. She said she felt like Angela Fletcher (Murder She Wrote). We had a pretty good show. Deb and Jayne had relatives there. They loved it. I had dinner with Robin, Hendrik and Augie at a cute Italian restaurant in the Grassmarket area. Very quaint. Then I met up with Jayne and the girls at a pub that used to be a bank called The Standing Order. I had a drink with them and then came home. I wanted to make it an early night so I could get up earlier today. I feel a bit panicked at the thought that we only have four days left. So much still to do. I have to come back to this city. I must.
