Glasgow

Ok, now I know I just emailed everyone, but rest easy knowing that I won't be filling your inboxes with minute-by-minute detailed messages of our every waking move.

Christine & I got a great sleep last night and had a decent breakfast this morning, made up our itinerary for the day and headed out... only to discover that it is a Glasgow city holiday today and everything is closed.... which severely limits our options! So in order to regroup and figure out what we're doing today, we stopped in this little internet cafe, and the rest is history.

Turns out the museum and art gallery we saw yesterday was rated #1 of the things to see while in Glasgow -- cool! We are boggled over the fact that not only was it free admission, but we were allowed to take photographs everywhere inside. There was some cool stuff, I only wish I was more coherent.

Talking to the Scots here reminds me of talking to Newfoundlanders... you KNOW they are speaking English, but you can't get a handle on 100% of what they are saying. We have found that the older people are harder to understand, but maybe it's more of a factor of origin rather than age. We will see... I wonder how it will be once we get to Barra.

Tomorrow we head back to the airport and get on a domestic flight to Belfast, where we are staying overnight. It's the only part of the trip that won't be in Scotland. We plan to pretty much do a day tour while we are there, have dinner in a pub (maybe have a Guinness?) and then head back the next morning... and pretty much get straight on the plane to Barra.

Ok, well we are off on our Glasweigan adventure! Hope y'all are well! :)
