On the way up I took a train up the eastern side of the UK. I got to see the sea which turned me into a little school girl. If only there had been time to stop. The coastal shots are from when the trained passed through Edinburgh, Scotland.
My first night in Glasgow John and I walked into a beer festival. Yes, I took the massive glass home as a souvenir. No I did not drink the entire glass. At best I drank about 1/6 of it.
Friday I ventured around town on my own for a bit. Went to the Modern Art Gallery, saw some cool architecture and heard some good music.
Moodiesburn - suburb of Glasgow. 15 minute bus ride into Central Glasgow.
Saturday night heard a local band, Nacional play. Good group of guys who show quite a bit of talent. If only the venue had better acoustics.
Monday did most of my venturing around town where the day consisted of seeing a sight, then figuring out how to get to it without a map. I was successful on all attempts.
I got some bad news on my way into the heart of the city and saw a dead hedge hog on the side of the road. It was how I felt - empty.
Glasgow School of Art - Designed by Charles Rennie Macintosh. Scottish Art Nouveau.
The Lighthouse. Also Designed by Macintosh.
How cool is this guy, 'Croc'? He got his own footprint.
The Willow Tea Room. Macintosh designed this as well.
Caledonian University. Check out the wicked cool study area.
Tuesday - time to go.
The Scottish landscape reminded me of Oregon. Green and beautiful!
