We finished our tour of Scotland by exploring the capital, Edinburgh. We planned our trip so that we would be in the city during its annual Fringe Festival. The amount of shows, street performers, and public art was overwhelming and astounding. It was the best time to see the city as it was abuzz with culture. We managed to get tickets to the military tattoo, which was an incredible experience with performers from over 10 countries.
After Edinburgh we drove to visit my maternal family in Gourock. We spent the night with them and my heart was full. I feel so blessed to have such amazing family that accepted me back even though we had been separated for years. Sometimes it feels like living across the world has created a chasm between us, but the feeling disappeared after seeing them open their door for us.
