New York Tartan Day Parade April 5, 2014

Yesterday I was at Ellis Island doing a bit of dancing in the rain with John, the kilted juggler and Mike, the piper.
Lots and lots of tourists were getting on and off the ferry boats and we were all trying to catch their attention and let them know about the special exhibit inside. My guess is that an unusual outfit, like the one described, helps stir people's curiosity about what's going on.
Who knew that Wild Bill Cody, Butch Cassidy (the Sundance Kid) and John Muir, the naturalist and conservationist who helped preserve Yosemite Park - were all Scots!!

So... I think that's a good thing!
