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!
(But I was a "girl-crazy" young man in those days

well i live in what people in america call "suburbia" pretty quiet, lots of mini vans,kids, schools, etc. alot of hiking trails and being that we're at sealevel some beaches. i live smack in the middle of the seattle tacoma metro area home to about 5-7m people so i guess i'll show pics of both.

first off i didn't take these pics but i didn't want to steal anyone bandwith by taking them and linking from their site.

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.
