parting shot

Why do I feel so at home here? It seems to me that if God created a land for people to enjoy, it would be Edinburgh in September. The grass is the greenest, either side of the hill. The old cobblestone streets are wide for walking. Cyclists abound up and down the hilly crests.
And the Craigs! Such a beautiful and peaceful place. Hiking them is strenuous for great exercise yet too pleasant to be called work. Its many paths offer a choice between cobbled stairs and loose-earth handholds. At the top, a welcome wind will blow back your fatigue.
Her old walls are sodden but not failing. Squares built centuries ago yet entertain the youth. You can find fashionable dress or a Slanj kilt. And while you're about your business, take a breather with some firkin lager or ale.
Edinburgh has been a treat! Tomorrow I will see what marvels the highlands have to offer.
