Fringe Festival

Royal Mile

See photo for a glimpse of what 500,000 Edinburgh visitors during the month of August looks like during the Fringe Festival. The photo was taken from the public bus we were riding as it crossed the Royal Mile. That is the most famous/visited street in Edinburgh. It runs approximately one mile from Holyrood Palace at one end to the Edinburgh Castle at the other end. It is a popular must see location at any time of year. But now...

We were on the bus returning from an outstanding magic show. Since our seats were up front we could carefully watch the magician and his hands. To no avail, we could not see how he did any of the tricks; it was magic. Afterward, it was off to a production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.  Two totally different shows in the same day; both just a glimpse of the expansive variety of arts and music at the Fringe Festival.
