Our trip to Glasgow

Poor Mickey is sick and, as everyone knows, if you're going to be sick on a vacation, it will be on travel day. We had a 4 hour train ride from Edinburgh to Glasgow with a transfer in Perth. 

When we arrived in Glasgow, we had to go to a hair salon to pick up the key to the apartment I rented. Then we had a 15 minute walk to the apartment. It has been sprinkling here since we arrived so it looks like our weather luck has changed. An all-around bad time for the ill.

The apartment is another fabulous 2 bedroom, 2 bath modern condo with a large balcony and a gigantic tv. The living room has a huge L-shaped sofa where I'm sleeping but at least one more person could sleep on it.  They left us a bottle of Prosecco, cokes, coffee, a million kinds of tea, and snacks. I'm really good at finding these places. If anyone ever needs help, I work for cheap. Actually finding my way around these places is another story.

While Mickey rested, Lola and I went to lunch. Johnny had recommended a restaurant called Obsession of India,  a two minute walk away. He announced that even I could find it. He was wrong. My habit of always turn right when exiting a building doesn't always work. However,  Lola quickly figured out how to get there. The restaurant has won several awards and the food is fabulous. 

When we were almost at the restaurant, we saw a busload of tourists getting off the bus in front of it. We feared they were going to lunch there but they all got off, took pictures of the famous clock tower,  one of the few structures left from Trongate which was where merchants had their wares weighed and taxed. Trongate existed from the 1400s but most of the buildings were torn down during the Industrial Revolution and after WWI. The steeple was built in 1637.

That's all we did today. Got here. Rested.  So here's two more pictures from yesterday.
