glasgow trip

tuesday
1 february.

had to go get fingerprinted for my visa application, which took me to glasgow. took the train from haymarket which only took about 45 minutes. walked around and saw a neat exhibit at the modern art gallery.
















and then took their wee little metro (one circle loop) to go to the UKBA place. Which of course is in some random weird building. but the people were super nice and chatting with them and convincing security i'm not from cowboy country took longer than the fingerprinting bit. but after that then i had to sit and wait for 30 minutes to then be told i could go. so hopefully that's a positive sign.

then i rode the little metro back to the main little downtown bit and went shopping. and followed a little walk through town.









and then walked to the cathedral and to the necropolis.





















and saw the oldest tenement and stuff.










caught the train back.

was a nice day trip. had a smoothie and sandwich for lunch for only 3 pounds 50. and that was good.

then i had to go to tynecastle high school for a meeting and then from that to monkey bizness for a looong staff meeting filled with fire drills and climbing wall practice. angela and i raced. sadly my waterproof shoes are not good climbing shoes. but i finally actually got to float down on with the harness.



and once the meeting was finally over, a bunch of us had a few drinks at the pub.
