Day 42: Glasgow

Today was our only full day in Glasgow.

Why did we only have one day in Glasgow?

Because that's how it was organized, but we all would have liked more time to explore the large city and its surrounding countryside.

As it was, we spent half the day for our photo walk.

Our photo walk's assignment was to spend a set amount of time taking a set amount of photos in a set location. (Time: 1.5 hours, Photos: 85, Location: George Square)

It was definitely an interesting exercise, finding new angles of the same spot to photograph, while also monitoring how many photos one is taking over a set amount of time.

After the photo walk, we spread out for lunch, walking around, going to the mall, eating dinner, and packing back up for our trip to Belfast tomorrow.

Day 43: Ferry to Belfast

We traveled from Glasgow to Belfast today.

What did this entail?

We took a coach ride from Glasgow to the coast, rode a ferry to Northern Ireland, and then took another coach ride from the coast to Belfast.

When we got to Belfast, we had about half an hour to unpack and then we headed out for a photo walk.

We walked around town for a bit, took some pictures, saw a few murals, and then it started raining pretty hard so we cut it short and walked back to the hotel.

Belfast is a pretty interesting city.

Starting to feel a bit gross from this cold,

European Adventures

It's time to become a world traveler!

I mean, I've traveled to an amazing amount of countries and states, compliments of my dad working hard as an airline captain. However, most of those trips involve an almost impossible amount of activities and locations packed into two or three days in a city.

I'm excited to be able to experience other countries' cities for weeks instead of days.

So, where am I traveling?
