We left London Town around dawn to catch our plane to Glasgow. Paul and I decided to take a cab from the Glasgow airport since we didn't know where we were going and needed to catch up with The Rauzi's. Within 20 seconds after getting inside the cab we were questioned about our American political leanings by the cabbie. It was all in good fun.
Thankfully, we found Cynthia who was searching for us on a busy pedestrian street in downtown Glasgow. The boys went off to sort out the car hire and Cynthia and I fled on foot and found the bagpipe museum where we learned about all things bagpipes. We even got to try our hand at the pipes and sadly I discovered that I suck at playing bagpipes. A little disheartening given my Irish/Scot genetics.
We ate lunch at the famous Willow Tea Rooms designed by the famous Charles Rennie Macintosh. Later on we went to the modern museum of art and another interactive art show. The boys turned in early and Cynthia and I found a nearby Irish bar and witnessed a near brawl...good times!
Tomorrow we head to Oban in the highlands!
Welcome back to the Wachter travel blog. Hope you enjoy the trip!
