I can’t really describe the wind and cold here.  Edinburgh is along the coast so it’s like wet cold and I think its probably cold enough to snow but somehow there are sprinkles instead.  We walked along this one road and went under a bridge, it created a wind tunnel where it actually slowed us down.  It was like all those cartoons where they grab onto something and they are lifted up and you see their legs flying behind them.  You had to close your eyes because of all the crap blowing through the air and slowly put one foot in front of the other until we made it through the tunnel.  And what kept running through my mind all day is “How do people here wear kilts?” I mean I have 14 layers on and I am still freezing and here comes this Scotsman strolling across the bridge with his kilt and knee socks looking like he enjoys the draft up his skirt.  Wha?
