DLL and Chase visit – 21/8/2007 – 25/8/2007

So Sarynna and Chase had planned to visit during festival time deliberately, but by the time we actually caught up with them, I was not convinced that they regretted not visiting at a less chaotic time for the city. The upside was plenty to do, day or night. The downside was people everywhere. They arrived sometime on Tuesday. Brian and I caught up with them sometime on Thursday, with Sarynna and Chase meeting me at my office, following me home and then heading closer to city centre to enjoy dinner at a favourite vegetarian Indian restaurant. Brian caught up with us toward the end of the meal. We finished the night at Dagda.

Their plans had them off to Rosslyn Chapel on Friday and waiting for Aberdonian Mexicans on Saturday, so we planned for our outing to the Sheep Heid Inn for Saturday evening at the tail end of their annual beer festival. Chase is a beer drinker, so at least he would benefit from that.

Mixed up and lack of communication meant we were quite late getting to the Sheep Heid. It was a dark walk there and back. The place was the most crowded I remember seeing it, with both inside and outside jammed with bodies. Rudeness and naivety scored us a table outside and we enjoyed more time to catch up. Two rounds later, we were walking back in the dark and bidding farewell to Chase and Sarynna, with the next reunion set for Thanksgiving in November.
