Today started out at 4am (for me) with a trip to the airport with David. He left our company one day early to have his eye surgery tomorrow - we wish him Godspeed on his journey and for his quick healing!
After leaving David in capable hands, I took the express bus back to town. On the way I glimpsed an interesting sign that gave some indication of my Scottish heritage - of course I wasn't prepared to snap a picture. Luckily I got a shot off as the bus was puling away from the light - fuzzy but legible! HAS to br a relative!
Once I was back downtown I decided a walk would do me good, so instead of taking the #33 bus, I walked by way of the lower section of the Royal Mile and Holyrood Park. Found some more lovely architecture and nice views along the 40-minute walk.
The big event for this morning was the Closing Ceremonies. The multitude was divided into two sessions - we had the first at 10am. The assembled staff congratulated the troupes on their jobs well done and waxed philosophical about why the work the students have been doing is so important. The Baby Wants Candy company was present and did a 5-minute improvised musical entertainment for us - and they talked a bit about the shows they'd seen. One BWC member came to see our show and he praised our company highly for their professionalism and poise even when faced with surprises (in other words, the drops falling down!) The tech staff offered awards for each troupe linked to their various triumphs. We received an award acknowledging our grace under pressure with keeping our drops up and running!
The rain has been falling steadily all day - it's really the first all-day rain we have experienced. As I write this, it's close to 11pm and we have to be up and out of the dorms by 4 in prep for a 4:30 bus ride to the airport. So look for a little update on last day activity tomorrow if I can get some computer time at the London airport!
