I think he appears to be pretty impressed as well!

On May 15-16 the Saltire put in at the 39th Annual Houston Highland Games and Celtic Festival. More photos from the games here; http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...-2010-a-59355/

Our own Jack Daw played host to the airship at the Clan MacIntyre tent.

Organizing for some photos...

We met a fairly new X Marker, WRJohnson, signing the log.

Here we go;
Max (triolamj), Steve (Jack Daw), Wade (wrjohnson), Niles (Copey713), Mark (Zardoz), Shaun (Shaun Maxwell). We had a couple of other members that were on hand but didn't make the photo, Trifin and Medic 78.

And because some of my girls were shooting the pictures... a "pleat' shot

I just want to say how proud I am to have hosted the Saltire in the Friendship State, and how much I enjoyed taking it and all of y'all on a little tour of some of the history of my beloved country of Texas. I really enjoyed reading all the log entries and thinking about the places she's seen. I have the orders, and she'll soon be on to the next port, and I look forward to the photos!

Can't wait to see where she lands next.

The Saltire was last seen by me heading West on Monday morning. Hopefully she'll be at the next port of call in a day or two.

Wish she could have seen Scarby before haeding outside the state again. I am sure that Queen Margaret of Scotland would have loved to have her pic taken with her.
