The weather here has been stupendous the last few days--75 degrees, little bits of wind. It's really nice because you aren't limited to just a few hours either, it feels like midafternoon from like 10am-8pm, because again...the sun pretty much never goes down here. Anyway, all this nice weather and the scots accumulate in the meadows...the central park of edinburgh. One huge field split into 4 sections including an amazing playground (with a zip line), running paths, eating options and lots of shade and sun--this is the meadows. There are lots of blankets with kids playing chess and drinking wine or beer--I think open container laws exist in Edinburgh but I have never seen anyone's beer taken away. People are playing frisbee, soccer, practicing tight rope walking. People here are so friendly to begin with but everyone gets so giddy in the sun, the meadows turns into a huge commune and every one belongs to it. Some people invited Lauren and I to join their tight rope walking gang even.
