The second half of our week in Scotland was spent in Glasgow. We took the train there from Edinburgh. I liked Glasgow, though not as much as Edinburgh—it was more industrial and less charming and historic-feeling, but it was a cool city to see and stay in, with nice places that were definitely worth seeing. We also visited some beautiful locations in other parts of Scotland during our stay in Glasgow.
I saw this in a shop and wondered if David would like it if I called him "My wee honey bee"? 😆
We spent some time in Waterstones, which I think is the English equivalent of Barnes & Noble. It was a great bookstore; I loved it!
Yes to both of these! (If only I had the luggage space!)
Apparently, it's called "Cluedo" in the U.K. This is one of my family's favorite games to play.
Agatha Christie puzzles
More cool puzzles...
A table of "Scottish Crime" books
This is one of my favorite mystery books by one of my favorite modern mystery authors (who I've also met twice!). I'd never seen it with this cover before.
The U.K. loves their Agatha Christie! As they should.
My hotel room was nice, although my view was mostly of some exciting construction scaffolding.
Bee things remind me of David. I snap shots and send them to him.
Check out this amazing painting on the side of this building!
We did a fun ghost tour with a great guide that I highly recommend. I liked it and the guide better than the one in Edinburgh.
We met and started outside of Glasgow Cathedral. (I'll do a separate post about that amazing edifice soon!)
Pictures I took on the ghost tour...
That's Nate and Kat in the center there as we walked to a massive graveyard.
Glasgow Cathedral is getting its spire worked on. This building is so beautiful, inside and out.
This is a famous sight in Glasgow. I don't really get the meaning behind it, but it's amusing.
Europe is so neat!
Next up: an awesome day trip to my favorite royal location of the whole trip!
