Welcome to Glasgow

We've landed in Glasgow. Flight to Reykjavik Iceland - then to London England - then to Glasgow Scotland. Arrived in Scotland and stayed in the Ramada Inn off George's Square (more pictures soon).  I slept a lot due to jet lag, and Christian seemed un-phased. I didn't get any photos at Heathrow, but managed to get a couple snaps of Iceland airport... I'm definitely visiting this place again.  It was a little like landing on the moon, and views of the tiny huts on the edge of the mountains with hot steam spewing from the earth were beautiful.

Through the window at Iceland airport in the long long customs line.  We got an Iceland stamp in our passports though.

Image Christian took with his iPhone out the window over Iceland. 

This is a shot of the GPS image on the back of the seat in front of me.  The entertainment systems on the planes were killer.  I watched a documentary on Icelandic electronic music, one on whale watching off the coast, and another on Iceland's rock formations.  There were also movies and local music... I didn't get to any of my books or magazines.

Our first meal in the apartment.  Left over pizza from the cheap and delicious Italian restaurant around the corner, and cans of soup from the grocery in the bottom floor of our building.

The toe that gushed blood after I stubbed it on the stupid ridge between the carpet and the kitchen floor.

The only mention of swine flu that we encountered while traveling.  

They gave us this little card in English and Icelandic on one of our Icelandair flights.

Our wee fridge with Noah and Mya's art.

Our Glasgow kitchen.

Bed and dining room.

Lounge (at the end of our bed) complete with Cape Breton tablecloth. 

Our loo. With nifty pull cord that corresponds to a confusing tap fixture.

List of things that seem a little strange too us foreigners:

-Lights switches: up means off down means on

-There's no sheet below the comforter and above the mattress sheet (this is how the bed was made in the hotel and in our furnished apartment)

-Do the road rules apply to the sidewalk?  Not sure whether to walk on the left or right.

-Very strange shower fixtures

-Ordering food at the bar in pubs

-Liquor at the grocery store (and dirt cheap)

-Taxes included in most things
