For my first Edinburgh trip, I'd like to give a shout out to Ben Hewitt. I was so glad to hear "y'all" again. What reminiscing could be better than discussing at the Jazz Bar over some pints the sacrifice we made to miss Proud Larrys for a semester. Tribute to you Davis; we both missed ya.
Brief highlights of Edinburgh: a Sunday morning service at St. Giles Cathedral, four coffees at J.K. Rowling's favorite haunt, the Elephant Room, the monumental Benjamin West painting for Scotland, climbing up the 287 steps of the Sir Walter Scott monument, clubbing with hip thirty year olds at LuLu's, and hiking up Arthur's Seat and seeing Edinburgh in panorama view.
So as one can see, I have never practiced brevity.
Did I mention that I went to the Scottish Whisky Experience? Oops, I didn't tell Mom either. I had a single malt from the Islay region which is characterized by a heavy smoky flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
