So we have done what amounts to a one-day layover in Glasgow on our way out to the Western Islands. I imagine it will, in the end, seem like a pleasant dream had during the long sequence of plane rides. We'll come back to Glasgow for a proper visit before heading home.

Our first meal on Scottish soil was at the Palm Court Carverie, here at the Glynhill Hotel. Marg and I stopped in for lunch while waiting for our room to be ready. We were a little afraid of looking like a couple of ignorant Americans who had to be told everything. Luckilly, our good-humored waitress, Mera, helped us just embrace being a couple of newbies and just dive in. The food and the bitters were terrific. Also Mera happens to have spent a good deal of time at our next stop, and provided us with some great information.

Got a few good photos, but am not able to find the USB cable for my camera just now. Why there have to be so many different ends for USB cables is something I can't quite figure out, but there it is. Maybe after we get where we're going and actually unpack it will show up.
