The Pope and other visitors.

Once again starting to run out of hours in the day, and a busy day it has been. Pope Benedict XVI was in town which caused a considerable bit of traffic chaos, looked superb on TV but being at work I could not get near the route. The convoy did pass within a couple of hundred yards but at that stage the Pope was in a sealed blackened out car heading for the Palace before he entered the Popemobile and did the City tour.

Bar was pretty busy most of the day and I met a few of the customers, Firstly, Scott Cloyd from Aurora , Missouri, USA , a masonic gentleman and member of Lodge Monett No 129 ; RA Greenfield No 84; who was over here to visit Grand lodge of Scotland; Mother Lodge Killwinning, Ayrshire and also Rosslyn Chapel.






There was also Petre and Monica Popeanga from Bucharest, here on business and who had thoroughly enjoyed their stay in Edinburgh.
