The Flight of the Saltire

[Arlen]

As always, fantastic.
I still hope that one day the Saltire will visit us here in Idaho, but I know it has a lot of journeys to make.
What an intrepid airship!

[Regnifne]

Hmm, wonder when it's heading toward SoCal . . . perfect show-n-tell for SCHool!

Although I did get to see the wee airship when it passed through DC, it would still be great if she made it back my way for a little more time. If she could make her way back to Frederick at the end of November, I would gladly take her on a Caribbean adventure with me.

We went down to Niagara Falls, with the wee airship leading the way, once there we corrupted the wee airship, I think this may have been a first time for the Saltire in a casino. We were told no photos inside however.


The Saltire and I at the chapel.


Another first for the wee airship, walking down the isle
Catherine, the Saltire and her mom.


The next day we took Catherine's mom and the Saltire to see the falls we were in Niagara after all.


I took the Saltire to Brock's Monument as I thought it was something the wee ship needed to see.


Today we took the Saltire to the Royal Ontario Museum, to see the Dead Sea Scrolls among other things, those photos to follow

The Saltire certainly looks swell with the Carolina tartan. Maybe she'd enjoy a trip to the Tarheel and Palmetto states?

Did she fly over the falls or stay on one side of the river?

It's great to see the Saltire again, and in the celebration!

[McMurdo]

Well the Saltire is still with us though we are getting ready to send her on the way, anyway tonight we went to the lakeshore to take in the Toronto Music Garden and visit the lake. Here are some photos

[McMurdo]

Well last night was a kilt night at the Queen's Head, we had visitors from all over, Old Hippie was in from B.C., Dee and Ron were up from Virginia and the Saltire made it as well. We also had locals Uncle Ricky, Duchess of NC and myself. It was a good night and it was nice to reconnect with Dee and Ron and meet Charles.

One thing about XMarkers that I've noticed over my time here is the sheer generosity that most show, we were given two more wedding presents tonight, so thank you again Charles, Dee and Ron for your cards and gifts they are greatly appreciated.

Onto the photos

The Saltire at the Queens Head, Charles was calling this one Blimp with single malt and beer or something like that

Well that is about all the shots I got, Old Hippie it was a pleasure meeting you, and it was good to talk bikes all night. Dee and Ron it was great to see you again safe trip back, last but certainly not least it was good to see Uncle Ricky as well.

The adventures in Toronto will continue.

The Saltire was restless again today, and so we all went to the Ontario Science Centre. Here are a few photos








They had thin neat little display on the floor when you stepped on it the circles of light showed up so I took the opportunity to do a skip change of step down to se what it would look like






a few more to come
