planes and buses

No exciting pictures of castles yet. The last day and a half have been scuttering from numerous planes and shuttles. We are here and safe and enjoying a hot soak.

Observations from the trip so far:

- The first photo was from the second plane taken at what my body thought was 3am but it was the sun rising over the UK

- second photo is of our disposable cutlery that was made of wood like chopsticks

-not pictured is the toilet paper in Glasgow airport. It is thicker than most with Scott marked on it and was dispensed in large pieces like tissue in a box.

- the trees and roadside flowers are different and will give me something to investigate on walks.

- all day I was surrounded by all manner of languages and dialects. The help screen on board the plane had at least a dozen languages to choose from.

-the drive from the airport to the hotel was noteworthy for it's absence of pick-up trucks. I recognized about two thirds of the makes of the cars and most were on the compact size  (and pale mint green is a popular color)

If jet lag doesn't do us in we will investigate downtown Glasgow tomorrow. We are down in the city center with lots of beautiful old buildings to see.
