Glasgow

I love love love having friends in other countries.  I think that's part of what made Glasgow so awesome.  I visited Tina, a friend who studied abroad in the US during High School, briefly saw my old roommie Nicole, and made a new friend Kirstin.  For the most part, Tina was the photographer during the trip.  Unfortunately, she decided to try the "formatting" option on her camera and goodbye 6 months of photos.  Luckily, I did take a few photos

In Glasgow the sun set about 10 pm and it was still light out until 11ish.  It was AWESOME!  None of that pitch black by 9pm. Nope.  As a result, it did feel a little weird going out to the bars early.  Which brings me to the bars, or, I should say clubs.  Pretty awesome.  I guess we all have that clubin stereotype of the UK people, but, yeah.  We didn't pay to get inside anywhere, and drinks were 1quid.  I like it.

One day we decided to rent a car and drive around the countryside hitting up Scotland's oldest distillery, purchasing some awesome father's day gifts, visiting Kirstin's family home, and touring Stirling Castle and another one that I can't think of right now.  Side note: Nick driving on the wrong side of the road- oh so scary.

between the quads.

So Harry Potter like.

I found this just lying around the city.



Visiting some gardens.  The Prince was there the day before!



I love yellow flowers!

The Art Museum.  It was closed though :(

Stirling Castle.  Prince William visited the day before we did.
Maybe next time we will be at the same place at the same time,
I was the last to find my way to the center.  It was a very challenging maze!

I'm missing a significant amount of photos from Glasgow, so, there might be a Glasgow part 2 in the future.
