Glasgow: Tour By Bus March 13, 2010
Posted by tiffany in : Glasgow , trackbackWe ended up taking the Glasgow City Bus tour for nine 
pounds each for two days of hop-on hop-off enjoyment. It’s an hour or so tour that we turned into a five hours.
We hopped off at The People’s Palace which is a museum that shows life in Glasgow from people of all ages and places in society through the history of Glasgow.
There was a lot of paraphernalia from as far back as the 1800′s. We learned a lot of nifty facts such as: Glasgow was a very wealthy city in the 1800′s but for roughly 60 years starting in1939, there was a depression!
It’s also the home of the Winter Gardens (a really fancy green house). The plants are very common to Houston; Sago Palms, Palm Trees, Hibis
cus, and many others that for the average person who is from areas closer to the equator, are not very exciting. It was nice, however, to have lunch in the gardens.We also walked to a candy shoppe and a open-air market. There were many interesting antiques such as a baby buggy(the old ones that are much more like bassinets on wheels), cameras, and books. It’s open only on the weekends so maybe we’ll go back tomorrow and see if there are any small something-or-others we may
like.

Why are you going to Paris? Cindi B is applying for her passport.
Maybe we will see ya’ll in July.
Love, Mom
Good to hear Cindi is working towards going on an adventure! I know she’ll love it. We’re moving forward, Chris has a family friend who is allowing us to stay with them. Now is a good time for them (and cheap air fare for us) and since we will be coming to London in May for Chris’s conference, we’ll be back to explore other areas of the UK!
much love, Tiffany
