| Parade |
Today is the official launch of a series of festivals in Edinburgh that will last over a month. Their is the Jazz and Blues Festival, Carnival, Macro, Fringe (largest music festival in the world), Art Festival, Book Festival, Film Fest, and the Royal Military Tattoo (bagpipes). Phew. We have been told to expect hoards of tourists. Actually, the city has a population of 500,000, and that same number of tourists is expected in August. Hey, we are tourists too, sort of.
The whole shebang was kicked off by today's parade (see photo); we actually knew one or two of the performers there from our hill walking club.
