Houses, Schools, Freezing Rain & Food

Tomorrow I get to meet my new hometown.  Hubby & I are spending a few days looking at housing and schools.  Hope I don't look like a total cracker idiot and can keep my trap shut when appropriate.  


To visit a city knowing that I'm not truly a tourist will be a new experience.  In past travels, I've tried to imagine daily life for the people that live and work in tourist destinations, noticing that the buses and subways I'm using are populated with shoppers, office workers and students.   I'm about to become part of that daily life --  what fun!


The weather report is not brilliant: lots of mid 30s with precipitation.

I tend to plan my days in interesting places around "What can I eat today that will be amazingly delicious and how far will I have to walk to get to it?"  I've already plotted a list of places, ranging from traditional Scottish to Indian, French, Thai & Italian, even subs (cranberry & brie, anyone?)  I'll just eat my way across Edinburgh.
