I lived in this wonderful city for several weeks during the festivals.

I found an attic room, quite a story in its own right.

Worked washing lunch dishes at a pub on Princes St. got paid and a good meal daily. Say many different shows, met the Rob Roy band from Kingston Ontario, where my family was living at the time, knew some of the members!

Worked at the Playhouse Theatre where Mclean and Mclean were performing, along with lots of other great entertainment.

It was a truly great couple of weeks of my travels.

20 years ago (or more) I walked around the cost of Devon and Cornwall.

I pitched my tent very close to the coast and sat for a good part of the night listening to the ocean waves, admiring the rocks, thinking of the places where this water had come from across the ocean.

I met a very interesting gentleman who I joined for a dinner a day or two later up the coast a bit. He told me one story that I have retold many times. As we discussed the water of the oceans and in our pints of beer, he made the observation that statistically there is likely one molecule of Julius Ceasers piss in every pint of beer!! … Ponder that thought next time you have a pint … hopefully in several hundred years they are discussing Marywinkle’s urine molecules in pints of something!

Sitting and conteplating at Land’s end was truly a fond and favorite memory of my travels.
