Hogmanay (30th evening)

The New Years celebration around here is called Hogmanay. After the long day of driving we were all dead tired, but D and I decided to buck up and go check out the festivities.


They had a few streets blocked off where they had street performers, bands, and staged shows. The street performers were hilarious. Three guys on stilts kind of acted like mimes and ran (it was amazing how they didn't fall) around stealing things from people (often women's cloths) or kissing bald guys' heads. Another wacky performance was these beauticians who would grab people from the crowd and do the damnedest things to their hair.


The night was ended with a unbelievable performance using these crazy mechanical "flying" machines. It was something to see. To bad the old folks were too tired. More brew for D and me.
