Worldtrip a 45 year old's adventures around the world-which include everything from sitting in random McDonalds using his notebook, hanging with 22 year olds, and other immature stuff.

Last night, after getting back to the hotel and resting up-I went to a pub crawl. That's right-you see when I got into Edinburgh Sat night, I saw a long line of people queing up by a bar, and upon inquiry found out that for 12 pounds you got a pub crawl, and it happens each night at 8:00 starting at the same bar.  I figured this would be a nice way to meet others and enjoy some local beers.  Anyway I Got there, and met a whole bunch  of great people, a couple from Germany, a girl from  France, and a girl from Brazil, as well as a couple from Alaska. They we're all staying  at a hostel-and we're all probably less then 1/2 my age.  As  matter of fact, the Pub Crawl person didn't seem to think I was actually there for the Pub Crawl. This made me feel like a snob since I Am in a hotel with an electric towel warmer in the bathroom (I use it to keep my clothes dry after washing it in the sink). Anyway, we had a lot of fun-I told the Gemans my ancestors we're from Germany-although I don't know where from. I Told them my German language mastery-Danka Shane,  Guttenmorgen and Farvegnugen. By the way the drinks weren't free-you  got 25% off pub prices and a free shot here and there (Which we're weak).  I was having a grand old time for the most part, although I don't remember much  of it-except thinking I lost my camera or someone stole it in my inibreated state. Somehow I found the way back to the hotel. Now the last bar we went to, I remember the song playing was Dancing on the Ceiling, by Lionel Richie. Now the realization  I had is that if I was of age The first time this song was cool, I am too old.  Now it is cool again, for the first time for these 20 somethings.

This morning in bed I was sort of rethinking the intelligence of the pub crawl, as my head was pounding and every negative thought came pounding into my mind. BTW, I still have the bracelet on from last night-the leader said it is good for tonight's crawl too-if my headache goes away I may check it out.
