Saturday day 12

We stayed downtown Glasgow in a nice hotel. We ate breakfast at a local place then got on the off and on bus. This city is nice and worth more time than we are spending. It has interesting art murals that are encouraged. All the city museums are free. Pete and I went to the transportation museum. It had a strange organization. There was a lot of emphasis on ships and Glasgow history of transportation. A Glasgow ship builder reportedly built very good ships for the south during the civil war. They were used to run the northern blockade and one person bought five of them. It was interesting to see a different perspective on that aspect of the civil war.

The others went to a traditional museum and they said the organization there was unusual also. The weather was rain then mist then rain then sun then rain all day. Sunday we are back in Edinburgh then home on Monday.
