Because it's cheaper to call home than a house down the street, that's why.

Okay here we are in Scotland!!!



The flight over was nothing special, but that's a good thing when it comes to flying. We were early arriving in Glasgow, the flight was only 5 1/2 hours because the winds were in our favour. Kenneth picked us up from the airport and brought us home where Valerie had a wonderful breakfast waiting!




Today was our first "full" day in Glasgow (but not quite because we slept in rather late). We exerienced the glasgow underground which is nothing at all like the Toronto subway! First of all its tiny. The cars are very short (length and height, they are around 6' tall inside) and the route just goes in a circle.




We met up with Arwen downtown at Buchanan street and started randomly wandering... and randomly wandered right back home! Well, to the neighbourhood anyways.




The shortcut from Kenneth's house goes through the Botanic Gardens which are absolutely beautiful. The trees all have name tags which is helpful. There are some glasshouses (greenhouses) that we haven't explored yet but they should be filled with cool things.
