Edinburgh is a beautiful city.

It also has some good cultural things to see. Do they still have the fringe festival?

I also remember that some of the lasses there were spectacular!

Nice Cantona. I've visited Lenin in Fremont before. Fremont seems like a good spot for a dispensary. I think I hit a music shop and a Thai restaurant when I was up there. Great neighborhood.

the dispensary i use is in between a thai curry house and an indian curry house. you may have eaten right by my spot haha. its in the middle of a very narrow alley.

the people of fremont dress up lenin too. in drag, costumes, etc. for Christmas they put a bright red star over him.
