1st Train Ride with Dana
Feb 23rd was my first full day in Glasgow. Dana and Paige took me on the train to town.How's it going everyone? Hope everyone's doing good. I can't believe I've been here for 5 days already. That's crazy. The weekend went by so fast, and we packed a lot into it.
On Friday we went to town on the train. The train is kind of like our sky train but faster and a lot more of them. I definitely could get lost. I didn't realize how old the city was until we started looking at all the buildings. Its pretty neat. We walked through George Square and went inside the City of Chambers, we walked through the Museum of Modern Art. That was pretty cool and really different. We walked down what they call the Peoples Street, probably the best street for me to be on cause I can't get hit by a car because I looked the wrong way. We stopped at the travel agent and booked a trip to Spain. We leave March 24th and home the 27th. We are going to Salou, its on the coast and the weather should be pretty good. We got our flight, half board which is breakfast and dinner and accommodation for 134 pounds. Not too bad. My uncle went
to Spain for the weekend with 20 of his mate and he said it was so hot that he had to buy flip flops. So that's good news for us. Auntie Karen had work people over for a gathering and man are they funny when they drink also really hard to understand.
Saturday, Auntie Karen took us for a hour and half walk around the neighborhood. I wouldn't be able to do it myself cause all the houses look the same. I'd get lost for sure. It also rained the whole time we walked. Apparently that's what it does here. You luck to see sun for an hour each day. They also have some pretty interesting street signs like 20s PLENTY. Saturday night we went to Mag's and Billy's for dinner and Mag's and I had a bottle and half of wine. They were super nice and we were having a disagreement on how to say aluminum. They say it so funny over here and say that we changed the saying of it. It was so funny. After dinner we headed back to Central Station and walked around looking at all the clubs. There's so many and Dana and
Paige had never been to a club so we went to The Garage. It was so much fun and really different. There was three floors and each floor played different music. It was so packed full of people that you couldn't even move. We learn't very quickly that you can't flag down a taxi you have to stand in line and wait for your turn.
Yesterday I happened to sleep till 1pm. I could't believe it since I haven't slept that long in a long time. I must of needed it. Dana woke me up for lunch. We went back into town and just strolled around looking in all the different shops at all the fashion. Its so different here. We are quite behind. On our way back to the train station we stopped at Molly Molones for a pint and shared some food. That was my 1st pint in my 1st pub here. It was all really good.
Today we are going to visit my Auntie Margaret and then going to the West side to walk around. Apparently it is beautiful and we are going to go through the oldest house in Glasgow. Tomorrow we are going
to Edinburgh for the day and on early Thursday morning we leave for Ireland. YA
Well I attached some photos for you all to see what I've been seeing. Hope they work. Keep sending me emails updating me on everything. Miss you all.
Lots of Love
Kel
