We have a flat!
Well, we are all moved into our very own flat. It is quite close to campus, at the most a five minute walk. And the grocery store is pretty close too, along with a library. We really like it and it was furnished. It was definitely easy to unpack everything when you only have 2 suitcases apiece. I forgot my flash drive, so I will post pictures next time. Yesterday we found pound shops, which I was VERY excited about. Not as good of deals as a dollar store, but the same idea. Today we started out walking to the Barras (a market)and found that we live very close to some beautiful churches. We didn't go through them yet. Then, we went to an outdoor flea market and started some of our souviner shopping because we needed something to put on the walls. The pure white walls were starting to get to me. Then we found a little festival. We have no idea what it was for, but everything was french. Most of the booths were brimming with divine smelling foods. Unfortunetly, we had just eaten, but we did try a crossant and it was heavenly. Next, we are going to the Art Gallery above the library and then on from there.

Hey Mike and Trish!
Sorry I did'nt get a chance to properly say goodbye to you guys before you left for the Bonnie lands! Glad you have found a flat and it sounds like its in a great location...go to the Cathedral and the Necropolis when you get a chance, its really cool and great if you want to get away from the city noise for a bit. I also hope your experience at the Barras was not an unpleasant one...my friend goes there to, and I quote: "buy nicked dvd's fae Glasgow scum". Looking forward to your photo's...Happy Scotlanding!
oh you're there safe and sound! phew!
I can't wait to see your pics...I can already imagine your little neighborhood complete with cute churches!
take care
That all sounds so exciting! I am so glad you are both so happy! I am looking forward to your updates and pics! Love you both!
Tracy
