NICENSLEEZY

I really love Glasgow. It's a town with spunk, spite and humor. The history and general attitude remind me of what I like about Philly. Today was our last day in "Glesga" and we were blessed again to miss the rain. It's been a refreshingly crisp climate between 60 and 70 degrees.  Nice to wear jeans and not have allergies to deal with.

We had a great flat with antlers: 
Antlers were one of the main reasons we picked this one on airbnb.com.
Today barb and I visited The People's Palace-  museum of Glasgow history and rich culture.

The visitors and citizens enjoy this indoor garden attached, year long. 

The terra cotta fountain is the only one of its kind.

The Duke of Wellington had his daily crown supplied by an anonymous citizen, as is the tradition.  
We also went to an opening at the Glasgow Print Studio and saw this ancient press on tour of the print shop. 

Lastly, to complete our Glasgow stay with a visit to this art student bar :

These lovely ladies were fun to chat with out front. The blonde was excited by my sophisticated Philadelphia accent since she'd been in Philly for 4 months last year.
I want a bar named NICENSLEEZY in Philly.

Next stop....Dana Hargrove's wedding weekend at Glen Clova!  

WOOO HOOO!!!
