Remnants of a hurricane have put all of Scotland in a wet mess and it rained all day yesterday. That didn't stop the Titans in Tartans from pursuing some last minute pleasures of Edinburgh - there were trips to the castle, shopping excursions and Fringe shows to take in before everyone did their best to turn in early.
A small group ventured into the Edinburgh castle - always a worthwhile visit, but shortened due to the nasty weather. Even in the rain the views are special.
People who wanted to catch shows had one more day to indulge their whims - my family took in the show NOT called Whose Line is it Anyway (They called it What Does the Title Matter Anyway) - but it was hosted by original British Whose Line host Clive Anderson, and this evening's performance featured mega-popular stars of the American version, Colin Mochrie and Greg Proops. As longtime fans of the show we really enjoyed seeing them live - no pix of the performers, as photos weren't allowed - but I did manage to sneak a couple of the stage setup. The room was an enormous lecture or meeting hall at the University of Edinburgh - very Harry Potter-ish!
Closing here since online time at Heathrow is limited - suffice it to say that our trip was all we dreamed of and sometimes more. The kids were fantastic, no real issues except a couple of late arrivals and some sick days. More than anything I'm proud of how beautifully they came together as a company, and how admirably they represented Einstein, the theatre program and our county, state and nation.
We are eager to see our loved ones - including the parents, the siblings, and the puppies and kitties we left behind!
Frog and Toad, going into hibernation, over and out!
Thank you for your faithful blogging. It was a joy to share the group's travels. We are so grateful for everything you did to make this trip possible. Amazing.
