Ern, this has to be the best xmarks photothread of 2009. Thanks for the comprehensive pictorial coverage of your trip.
I love to see my native Scotland through the eyes of a visitor and it was wonderful to meet you while you were in Edinburgh. Haste ye back to bonnie Scotland!
The views of the Alps are equally beautiful, the portraits of your host piping in the Alps are very poignant, and I see that Ancienne Alliance drives a car the same as mine, a Renault Kangoo.
