7/11/02 Glasgow, Scotland (still) (Phillip)
Just a quick note, off to Dublin late tonight but I haven’t posted in ages. I've almost got the rest of the pictures up and working but that'll be on hold till this time next week (when I get back here). I've been amazed by how much fun I've had in Glasgow. I suppose I never realized how much I missed it until now. I've been rowing everyday and my hands seem to bleed whenever I move them! It's like Stigmata or something at this point :)
I got to see both of my best friends here last night and after a whole bunch of crazy coincidences saw just about everyone I knew in this city before eventually crashing at my friend's family's guesthouse (too far from my uncle's house) right next to my old school.
Uncle Gordon has me working pretty hard, carpets being fitted so lots to be done but in exchange I get lifts just about everywhere I go and therefore not spending much money.
I've done lots of family visiting stuff which is good since I see my relatives so rarely.
However, I couldn't bum around here forever (no matter how much I want to) and so it's back on the road tonight. Flying to Dublin and I’ll spend about a week in Southern Ireland. Every Irish person I know is not in Ireland so I'll be meeting some friends of my brothers and maybe heading to a massive concert in Dublin (oasis, papa roach, prodigy etc...) then off to Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny and back to Dublin for another $10 flight to Glasgow next week. Then down to London the following day to hopefully meet another friend from America (an Aussie though) and over to mainland Europe before heading up to Denmark/norway etc.
Phew! Hope you're all doing great, hope to see you soon.
