54 degrees today. Beautiful blue skies and sunny. We took the shuttle to Edinburgh (pronounced "Edin-Brah") and started walking. Jason lived here for four years so he was our designated tour guide. We strolled over to Royal Mile and followed the sounds of the bag pipes and scots dressed as Braveheart to Edinburgh Castle. Along the way were scarf shops an kilt shops, single malt shops, and artisans with carts full of jewelry. We aproached the castle but decided not to pay the 20 quid to walk inside. We then walked to Grass market and passed loads of bars with small patios and people enjoying a pint in the sunshine. We decided to blend in with the locals and try a local brew. I tried Innis and Gunns which was good, but not my first choice. It was infused w honey which made it sweeter than I care for. Still nice on a hot day. We did some more walking around and caught the 430 shuttle back to the ship. Gave me plenty of time for dinner in the mess and a short rest before my sets.
Here is a pic of the stage I play on the ship. Imagine; every night, mind melding, acoustical jams courtesy of yours truly. That's worth the price o admission right there!!
Side note: new work out album of choice is Queens of the Stone Age "Era Vulgaris.". HEAVY.
