Glasgow bus touring.

Today we bought two day passes for the double-decker historic bus tours that loop through most of the city.
An unfair wind blown snapshot of Barb & Eileen. 
We got to see tons of the rich architecture. 

There was a lot of money in this town, and it shows. 
Twins, no doubt. 

Thec Science Museum. 
Funky contemporary buildings are popping everywhere. 
The "Squinty Bridge" 

"The Armadillo" the Scottish exhibition conference center. 
 They're building a new music venue. It's parking lot building nick-named "the Cheese building" (below)

"Stay still, there's a fly on your head- ill get it". 

My thrifty lunch  : 4£. Sausage roll and steak bake from Gregg's (hot savory pastry bits of heaven) and some healthy fruit from at Marks & Spencer's to make my mom feel better. 


Gratuitous Kilt Photo. 


The Necropolis is an ancient grand graveyard on top of a hill overlooking the city. 

While eileen was visiting family, Barb and I decided on a curry restaurant just down the street from where we are staying called:

Barb inadvertently took a double portrait from outside this very "wee" restaurant.
