Tuesday 4/13

All right, I know your eyes are about to fall out, but day four won't take that long to talk about. After arriving in Glasgow, we walked for about an hour through the city center to the west end to find our hostel, then crashed downstairs in the kitchen. While we were window shopping in T.K. Maxx, I took advantage of the changing rooms and switched into some clean clothes. We were all completely scuzzy at this point since the showers in the London hostel were see through and we didn't feel like dealing with that. Once we got to the hostel we showered and ate lunch, then just sat for a bit. Alice and Courtney took naps while I wrote postcards, and we all exploited the free internet to catch up on emails. After the crazy, hectic race through London, we decided to use our day in Glasgow to relax and let our blisters heal a little. There wasn't too much to do there anyway, so that was okay.

Once we woke up a bit, we went for a walk through the west end and found the Botanical Gardens. They were really beautiful and quite nice to walk through, so we sat inside for a while and watched all the babies going by, then sat outside some more and watched the antics of horny teenage Scottish kids. I can't even describe it. Two boys were trying to impress this girl with cartwheels and flips, but some girl on the other side of the field decided to flirt back with somersaults. Then the group in the middle got a couple of girls to kiss, which made another group freak out, then a fifth group got into the mix...let's just say I'm glad I didn't have to go to high school in hormonal Glasgow.

Anyway...wanna see some plants?


Like I said, Tuesday was the easy day. We stopped at a Spar for supper, so I got some sausage rolls. After eating, we used my computer for games and also a deck of cards that I had to keep ourselves entertained. Some other residents were teaching each other how to solve a Rubik's cube, so we weren't the only bored ones. We gave up after a bit and just went to bed early.

Yay Glasgow.
