Here is an exterior shot of the Gillis Centre, the conference center where we are staying for the next few days in Edinburgh. We all arrived safely yesterday afternoon, freshened up after the long flight, and had our first orientation meeting at 5. We were so excited to receive our detailed schedules, which are FULL of events and adventures for the next 4 months! After a delicious homemade dinner in the dining area, we took the bus downtown and walked around in the Fringe festival. Lots of street performers, people advertising for their shows, and crowds. We went to our first play, called Outland, as a group. It was performed in a tiny room, and the audience sat all around a set that was basically a Victorian living room. The three actors pulled lots of people onstage to participate in the show as different characters and it was a very inventive piece that we all enjoyed. By the end of the night I was ready for bed! It was a great first night!
