The University is a 5 minute bus ride from the Royal Mile. We checked in around 6 PM and met for dinner at 7 PM. The place is full of student groups most of whom are here for the festival. The dining hall served over 1,000 diners tonight. We each have a single room with a private bathroom and the picture to the left is from my window.After dinner we split into three groups - one heading downtown with Irl, one climbing the big hill behind the university with me, and a few stayed behind to hang out. Seth and Mark scouted out training facilities for tomorrow. The hill we climbed was v
ery cool. It is the highest point in the city and commands a 360 degree view from the top. Once again, Matty Zane, our intrepid climber led the way. I also caught him scaling the side of the dorm - that boy will climb anything.There is a grass courtyard outside our dorm and the boys have been playing hours of 4 vs 4. Seth put a 10 PM curfew in place and the boys played right up to the last minute. They are having a great time.

It all look so beautiful and fabulous! I notice a bit of Scottish flavor seeping into you Maine tourists. :) Glad to see a photo of the author and usual photographer!
I notice a bit of barbed wire on as Matty Zane climbs once again! I hope we don't need to send bail money so early into the trip?
Kris would like to know if Kyle bought a kilt to go along with that lovely plaid cap?
Off to cheer on the Beach to Beacon runners!!! Notice I said "cheer on"!
I don't know how you are finding time for posting these blogs and pics, above and beyond all the activities themselves, but I'm sure grateful! It's awesome to be able to follow along like this.
Hi Chic! Hi Gabe!
I hope you get to see the Edinburg Military Tatoo it happens every night in August. The "fringe" are the players on the street. The Monty Python crowd became well known at The Fringe. I envy you all.Play hard both on and off the "pitch"!!!!
