First Days in Edinburgh

Excerpt from my journal on October 2:

Edinburgh - "The Inspiring Capital" - (the city's slogan). It is beautiful - and busy - at least during the day. At night things seem to slow down quite a bit. Presently, I'm sitting in Costa Coffee on Princes Street. It is on the second floor and has amazing views ... the castle, New College, Old Town. Directly across the street is one of many art museums. This particular museum is featuring art by Andy Warhol and large replicas of Campbell's Tomato Soup cover the columns of the front edifice. There are interesting things to discover around every corner of this city. Some are larger than life -- like human size soup cans and other discoveries are neatly tucked away in small wynds (a Scottish word for small alley). Just yesterday I happened upon a Scottish legal bookstore. The bookstore was about the size of a small living room, yet despite its petitie stature there was a caller interested in purchasing a book on "how to prepare for the American LMAT." The bookstore owner was feverishly scouring her database for such a book. I politely chimed into the conversation and explained that the test was the LSAT. While the owner was pleased with the recently bestowed knowledge, the caller continually insisted that the American test was the LMAT and not the LSAT. I wonder in what circumstances I stubbornly refuse information from one who has gone before me in such a particular situation?

Right now I would love to hear from an American attorney who has relocated to Edinburgh. I promise I will not refuse any information or advice.

In the meanwhile, I'll be waiting for my inspiration ... since this is "The Inspiring Capital."
