Cold and dreary today in Glasgow.

In the kitchen, I ran into a PhD candidate who was studying lasers. We had an interesting  (at least to me) convo about her studies into using lasers to image human tissue, specifically using lasers instead of xrays to perform mammography. So neat.

Started out at the Peoples Palace. It’s the city museum. Very interesting glimpses into the lives of the locals, past and present. Glaswegians have a lot to be proud of. The town has really pulled itself together in the last 30 years. 

After some coffee and a treat, I went to the modern art museum. Meh.

The tour of city hall was the highlight of my day. What a great old building. Full of Italian design and superb craftsmanship, great art and grand staircases, gorgeous woodwork, and more. The building suffered no WWII damage at all. Its construction cost in 1889 was 500,000 pounds. In today’s money….45 million? A lot anyway. Just beautiful.

After that, more tea and a long walk. Had some phone calls to make and that brought my day to a close. 

Looking forward to Poland!! tomorrow.
