Travel Journal Entry June 9, 2012 or Glasgow is like coming home to Edmonton

We did the Glasgow city tour in the morning with the tour and ended up hitting several of our desired places. We then went to the Museum of Transport in the afternoon, which was fascinating. (Editor’s note: The story of the HMS Hood was very interesting. D stayed to listen to the whole presentation, but I just got the highlights. But the presentation was truly amazing in that as you listen to the display, these white lights come on and then 2 green ones, more white, a single green, and more white. You find out the three green lights represent where the 3 survivors were on the ship. Only three survivors out of a crew of 1418 on a ship that took 2 years to build, 2 years to outfit and 2 minutes to sink – a truly heartbreaking tale.)

Supper was at the Corinthian Club. D and I had the tomato lentil soup followed by the penne pasta. D had the strawberry shortcake for dessert and I had the sticky toffee pudding. Yum yum! (Editor’s note: What an elegant place too! I felt underdressed, but then again, I did not pack for fancy events.)

D tried the LowenBrau beer.
