Is there such thing as a "Thread Hall of Fame" on this forum, because if there is, I'd like to nominate this one!

Best, Robert

Thanks, NewGuise and Robert in clarifying the plants. The gentiane is one beautiful plant in bloom!

Robert took me to Geneva airport for my flight back to the States and wish me bon voyage!

Willie the wee sheep got comfortable for the flight to his new home.

Arriving at Liberty International in Newark

It was a grueling wait for our flight to Richmond. Our flights as well as most were delayed at least three different times.

I had been up now for over 24 hours and went to bed when I would be getting up if I was still in France!

The next day I was at work and not feeling badly from the jet lag. One of the ladies of the community came by and said I have something for you.

I had made the Richmond Times Dispatch Sunday Travel section article on Parade of Clans for the Gathering in Edinburgh! It had been published yesterday on the day of my return.

What a wonderful end to a perfect trip. I tend to try and wait until all the photos are posted before saying anything. I have been checking out the thread regularly and have been amazed by everything you were able to squeeze into your time. I do not have to tell you how envious I've been looking at all the photos. What an incredibly journey. Thank you for sharing it with all of us not fortunate enough to have made it.
