(Glasgow, Scotland) Awake. Another three night stay. Lovely. 8a. Off to the information center to get a map of Stirling for tomorrow. Glasgow is very industrial. Great architecture. Not very historical. Walk to the Cathedral Church of Saint Mungo. Uphill. Typical. Beautiful building. Dark. Very Gothic. Students are scattered around painting and drawing. Giant arches. Stunning. Gargoyles. Lovely cemetery just outside. Somber. Massive. A bit cold. Back to George Street Square to explore. Great area. Though it was a bit creepy last night. Grey skied today.  Buchanan Street Subway is right next to our hotel. Purchase discovery ticket. One day pass. 3 pounds per. We’re off to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum for a Dr Who exhibit. Yes! 4 minutes til the subway arrives. Creepy sounds coming from the underground tunnel. People waiting are strangely quiet. Similar to a scene from an old horror film. On board. Fast. Yellow and red. Five stops later. We’re off. Awesome. Up some stairs. Kelvin hall subway stop. Back on street level. Alley. Turn right. In the street. Towards museum. 5-10 minute walk. Beautiful. At museum. Incredible building. Gorgeous. Dr Who exhibit signs. Inside. Pick up tickets. Ahh. In the exhibit. Face of Boe. Cybermen. Dalek. Sonic Screwdriver. Timelord watch. Ood. This is great. Absolutely great. I love Dr Who. Exhibit is over. Time to explore the rest of the museum. Rembrandt. Monet. Van Gough. Loads more. Lunch at museum. K.G. Cafe. Coffee for us both. Tiffany had a ham sandwich. I had a mushroom pasta. Out of the museum. Walking back to subway. Back to Buchanan Street Station. Arrive. Now to explore Glasgow Exchange Square. Super old building with a Borders in it. Awesome. Shops everywhere. Apple Store. North Face. A million others. Exploring. Feeling weird after mushroom pasta. Back to hotel for afternoon break. 3:30p. Update blog. Rest. I am tired. A bit of TV. Time to find something to eat for dinner. Back on the streets of Glasgow. Tiff is in the mood for pizza. Me too. Pizza Express. A Eruo chain. Kinda similar to California Pizza Kitchen. Very nice. Peperoni for me. Cheese and tomato for Tiffany. They don’t cut the pizza for you over here. And everyone uses forks to eat it. Strange. Tastes good. Paid. More shops and what not. Explore. Else. Back to hotel for the evening. 8:30p. IT Crowd. Skype with Rachel. I love my family. And it’s over.
