The past two Fridays, I did go on walks with Gary (Student Tours Scotland). If you're curious as to the history/specifics that I may not have gone into, feel free to check out the links - it takes you to the page where Gary has written a description of the tour.
Linn Park
Two Fridays ago, we took the train to Cathcart and explored Linn Park. Linn Park is Glasgow's second largest park. It is beautiful, if pretty muddy at times. Some people got creative in trying to avoid the mud; I basically just went right through with my converse. My feet stayed surprisingly dry! Anyway, I spent the afternoon roaming the forest and taking lots of beautiful pictures. Quick sample:
The next day (Saturday) was mostly spent in bed.. until around 8:30 when Sarah and I decided to go out. We walked down to a restaurant/bar/pub called The Bookclub. It was super cute inside, and we each got a drink and spent a good two hours people watching. We're really good at it. During that time, I think I found approximately seven thousand future husbands (Okay, not seven thousand... More like seven). I gave them nicknames based on what they looked like - a few included Hair (he had really good hair and kept playing with it), Glasses (he reminded me of David Tennant and I got really excited), Shirt (... I liked his shirt), DJ (he was the dj and was awesome), and then two boys we deemed 'Straight?' because we honestly weren't sure... but they were cuties.
I got a sort of raspberry daiquiri - it had vanilla rum, chambord, raspberry, and lime. It was yummy! Sarah's had ice cream in it... that was delish too.
Pollock Country Park
This past Friday, another walk with Gary! Pollock Country park is "largest country park inside a city boundary in the continent." The main draw for Sarah and I was the opportunity to see a HIGHLAND COW! But anyway, the scenery was gorgeous, and we got to get pretty darn close to a few Highland cows!
