And Traveling the World

August is festival month in Edinburgh. With around ten festivals going on at the same time, Edinburgh comes alive with music, street performances, art, literature, food, and the occasional day of sunshine.

When I first moved to London I thought I would to to the theater all the time. The West End being just a short tube ride from home and a quick walk from work, I convinced myself that going to plays and musicals would be a regular occurrence. Not so. Between traveling almost every weekend and recovering from jet lag almost every week, I haven’t been to the theater very often. But the few times that I have been an audience member this summer have been pretty memorable.

Having spent so much time overseas in the past month, my boyfriend and I decided to take it easy in the UK last weekend. No, we didn’t stay home. We headed to Cornwall for two days of seaside relaxation in England’s southwest.
After a frightening incident in which our driver fell asleep at the wheel on the way to the airport, we arrived in Newquay just as the sun was coming up. Not wasting any time, we headed straight for the Eden Project, Cornwall’s impressive sustainable garden initiative.

I wasn’t planning to go back to Bermuda this year. Having just taken an impromptu weekend trip to Jamaica in June and a vacation to Colombia in July, it seemed a bit over-the-top to go west on another long haul flight. But after the epic adventure of last year’s trip, I couldn’t turn down my friend’s invitation to return to Bermuda for Cup Match 2009.
