The End of the Tour and One Last Day in Glasgow

The end of the tour found us back in Glasgow. We checked our bags at the hotel and said many goodbyes. Carol, Garandpa, Chris, and I headed to town to do some tourist type shopping. We wandered around the tourist shops and had lunch at an awesome noodle restaurant called Wagamama (http://www.wagamama.us/). It really good. It looks like the only U.S. location is in Boston, MA.

It was Saturday in Glasgow and there were a ton of street performers out. One of the coolest was this band of Highland drummers in traditional regalia.

There was an Armed Forces celbration happeneing too and we saw the parade as we came out after lunch.
We picked up souvenirs for friends and family. Chris got himself a kilt that looked good on him.

We ended the night in the hotel watching the U.S. vs Ghana game in the lounge and enjoying a few drinks with some of the other tour members. Chris had to get up at 4am so he retired early and we said our goodbyes.

Carol, Grandpa, and I were up early the next day to check in for our flight. We ate breakfast at the hotel, said goodbye to Donnie and a few others that we saw, and hopped the flight back to Philly. Customs was a snap to get through. At Philly we parted ways with Grandpa and caught our flight home. The heat of the desert made for a rough welcome, but we were glad to be home.

It was an awesome and unforgettable trip. I hope you enjoyed the recollection as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thanks for coming along with us.
