Gigi asked if I was ever going home. There was an interesting question after I woke up to text messages that my flight to Frankfurt was canceled and had been rescheduled to fly out of Edinburgh to Zürich on Sunday and the fly from Zürich to Frankfurt on Monday morning. The problem with that schedule was I was scheduled to fly from Frankfurt to the States on Monday morning, also.
The reason the flight was canceled was due to a strike by the German airline workers on Friday. Which was planned to create major disruptions for people traveling back home from Easter break. To make a long story short, my flight back to the States has been moved forward a week so I could stick with the new flight schedule if I had to, because flights and hotels were filling up and prices were going up on whatever was left by the minute. After a lot of searching, I got a better scheduled flight back to Frankfurt on Saturday.
Freyja will be happy to get another week of morning walks in.

John gave me a tour of the Verdant Works Museum, and gave me an excellent history of the jute milling industry that made Dundee a boom town in the 19th century. Visit the Verdant Works Museum website for the history of the rise and fall of jute milling in Dundee in the 19th and 20th centuries: https://www.dundeeheritagetrust.co.uk/attraction/verdant-works/




Mostly women and children worked in the mills




Then we went up to the top of the Law, which gives people a 360 view of Dundee and the surrounding area below.
