University of Glasgow about 2 miles west of downtown.
While Lulu did a presentation at Strathclyde University - I toured around town. After her visit - she took a uber cab to the Kelvingood Museum to be with me touring. It was cold - wet - and dark - outside. Temperature was around 40 degrees. The sun was down around 4:30 PM.
We rode the subway back into town. There is only one subway - it makes a loop around downtown. You can ride in either direction - inner loop - or outer loop. It was $1.60 a ride. It crosses under the Clyde River twice.
I noticed lots of pictures of Oliver Hardy around town. I looked it up and he was raised in a government house in the south of town.
We had supper in the Victoria Pub - just across the street from our hotel.
Tomorrow at 11 AM - we take the train to Blackpool. We plan to attend the Gerry and the Pacemakers concert there. The next day we will be back home in London with Joan.
Kelvingrove Museum - the number one museum in Glasgow
English money - 2 pound - 1 pound - 50p - 20p - 10p. The one pound and two pound coins are made of two separate medals - easy to notice.
The 2 pound coin is worth $2.62 cents today.
