Glasgow

On Friday Magda suggested that I visit Glasgow. So Rachel and I got up early and took the train from Waverly Station to Queens Street Glasgow. First, we decided to check out the Barrow Lands. We jumped on a bus that took us there from the train station. We didn't really have any idea what it was besides a huge market. Basically it was just a big flea market. Lots of junk. One stand even had funeral accessories, like stuff for gravestones. lol. I did end up getting a fabulous pursue. We weren't too impressed so we headed back to the city centre to look for something to eat. After awhile we found a little Italian place called Dino's. Rachel and I both got the lunch special pasta. It was great food and the service was perfect. After a coffee we headed out to look for the David Livingstone Estate, which I found on the internet. No one really knew and finally after asking a bus driver we discovered it was a town over. We decided to just walk around the city. We spent a lot of time in H&M and some other little cute boutiques. The Burrell museum was on our list of things to do but unfortunately it was closed because the museum workers are on strike! So, no luck going to museums because they were all closed. We ran into a gay parade/concert. Lots of spikey haired girls and drag queens. It was funny. Next we headed to the Glasgow Cathedral, which was beautiful. The cathedral has had many renovations but was first built in the 1300's!! Since it was pouring outside, we took our time looking around and took lots of pictures. On our way back to the train station we found an awesome used book store, so cheap! I got two books for a pound each. Even though Glasgow was really cool, it always feels good to come back to Edinburgh.
