The Pope will be in town tomorrow. All public transportation to the city center has been shutdown and my street has barricades on both sides. Scotland, or someone, paid 16 million for the Pope to come and speak with victims of violence? That's a lot of money for one person.
Also, tonight all my friends and I will be touring the second layer of Edinburgh through Mary Queen's Close. Edinburgh is apparently a three layered city in parts. Instead of demolishing and rebuilding, the first layer was built on top of and then the second. The black plague went rampant down there, when peasants rented out the underground city. We will be seeing the part beneath the Royal Mile tonight and then will be up to see the Pope's parade in the morning.
