Exploring


On Sunday we decided to take a walk through the city and explore more of Glasgow. We left the maps at home and our quick walk turned into a 2 hour jaunt through the city. It was really pretty though. We live in the city center, which is pretty busy and the apartments all look the same. Sunday we were able to walk down side streets and see some beautiful buildings. We would love to live there, but I am sure that our rent would double just because the building is pretty. And its amazing how quite a city can get just by ducking down a side street.
The building above was for sale. I really wanted it, but unfortunately it had already been sold. I am sure that Mike would have been okay with me getting it... yeah right!
The buildings here are beautiful. The one right above used to be mansions. There is another building exactly like this one at the other side of Charing Cross. Glasgow at one time was a very wealthy city, especially the North side. So, looking at the building is lots of fun just for the architectual beauty and to see what they once were. We even stumbled across an old Woolworths.

please don't buy any property in scotland, such a long way away for a quick visit.
Glad you are doing so much, love Mom!
