Feelin' Glaswegian

My week in the UK is coming to an end but I've crammed a lot into seven days.

I arrived in Glasgow to see my bestie Tom, who within five minutes said I looked like a tourist and I needed a shower. It was really great to see him. That night we headed to the Grosvenor for a quick drink before going to bed early so Tom could get up for work at 5.30am.

After sleeping in like a normal person I headed to Riverhill Café for delicious coffee and bagel while Tom worked hard for the money.



I checked out the Lighthouse, Scotland's national centre for design and architecture with a great section on Charles Rennie Macintosh. I'd never heard of him but if you're interested look him up on wikipedia, he had some fabulous ideas. Then Tom joined me for a Harry Potter-esque stroll through the University of Glasgow. 



That night we invited a bunch of exchange students over, made them a delicious Jamie style Mexican feast, and taught them to play circle of death.


The following morning we went through a restorative walk in the park and breakfast at Siempre bicycle café before getting the bus to Edinburgh to continue my Scottish experience.



Organic sparkling orange and mandarin juice and Scottish salmon bagel is a winning combination when you're feeling a wee bit dusty.
