Edinburgh





The Royal Mile
I did not know that the Fringe Festival was happening during our time in Edinburgh.
There was the usual suspects
There were hundreds of guitarists, vocalists, & bands
The street performers were varied
Not sure how they did this, but it was interesting trying to figure it out
Hmmm!

Mime?
One man muppet-like band
Haggis
Ruth tried Haggis.  She did not like it.  The video is hilarious!
