Brute Force

A big hello and thank you to Cynthia Barrette from all of us!!!

We all had the pleasure of seeing an amazing piece of theatre last night called Fuerzabruta. Truly extraordinary physical theater by the people who created De La Guarda. Endlessly fascinating, you're never sure what might happen or where the performers will come from. I ultimately felt it was a piece about connection and breaking down one's own barriers. Who can't relate to that?! If you ever find yourself near where this is performing, GO.

Chris Vaughn (his friend Rebecca) and I also decided to take a night, ghost tour. Steeped in Edinburgh history, it was a fun and silly way to learn about the past battles and hardships fought here through the centuries. We also got the real story on Greyfriars Bobby. Finally, forty of us ended up crammed into the Black Mausoleum, where our guide proceeded to tell us of a poltergeist who continually disturbs the people who visit. I just felt a bit itchy, nothing major. :-)
