I was tempted to get a kilt -
but I did not have underwear

Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and the largest seaport in the United Kingdom. We took the train up the 400 miles from London this morning - about 4.5 hours. That is half the time it took to go from Atlanta to London which is 4200 miles. We traveled on Virgin Railways. Lulu bought the tickets from America where the price was much lower - 65 pounds round trip.

We will spend 2 nights here - and then 1 night in Blackpool on the way back to London. Blackpool is next to Liverpool - about 200 miles or half way home. 

We do a lot of shopping but not much buying - which is good. We each travel with one carry-on bag and one backpack. We each only brought one bag on this train trip - so no room for junk.

We are staying at the Holiday Inn Express - provided by the University which is nearby. I am typing this in the room as the University took Lulu out to supper - I preferred staying home - not listening to library shop talk. 

We went to the Apple Store here to see the new iPhone X. It is a beautiful phone with a wonderful portrait camera and fantastic screen. They cost $1000 - but they are fabulous. Look at the portrait of Lulu - and you can see why she wants one now.

My friend Harry said - hot dogs are OK -
but they must be local hot dogs

Lots of wool and plaid

Each plaid has a name

Our hotel overlooks the River Clyde

Here is a local Scottish restaurant
