Continuing on the Rennie Mackintosh
theme, I visited House for an Art Lover in the Ibrox neighborhood
with my friend Shannon. The house was dull from the outside but
looked similar to the Mackintosh house that Anna and I toured on campus.

The next day I went on a field trip for
my Archeology of Scotland class! The trip was to Kilmartin Glen, it
took about 2 hours to get there from Glasgow. We visited: Achnabreck,
Nether Largie South, Temple Wood, Kilmartin Parish Church, and
Dunadd Fort. It was cool to see some of the sites I have been
learning about in class. I thought it was interesting how we were
able to walk on the sites, climb in a chambered cairn, etc. In the US
we would be viewing these sites from behind a fence...

I went to see the band Mausi, suggested
by Shannon. The concert was at The Arches and had about 15 people! It
was fun because it was so small and the band members we met after
were very friendly!

I returned yesterday from another trip
to Isle of Arran, I will post about it later when I have pictures from my friends (my
camera ran out of battery). It has been raining a lot here but
there are sun breaks! I have gone through 2 umbrella’s
already...the wind is evil.
