Hi Everyone! We arrived in Scotland this morning, and our first sight was the oldest building in Glasgow. We toured th e Glasgow Cathedral which is where St. Mungo set up a community 1500 years ago and we marvelled over the beautiful stained glass windows and the ornate Gothic architecture. This is one of the only cathedrals that survived the Reformation. When the Protestants came to destroy the cathedral, the Catholics risked their lives to save their church by circling the cathedral with stones and sticks, promising that the Protestants could have the cathedral, only if the Catholics could be buried under it. It is now a Presbyterian church.
Next, we enjoyed a citywide tour, while our tour guide Maggie McCann explained the significances and interesting facts about the city and later we enjoyed a traditional meal of fish and chips in St. George Square. Lastly, we arrived at the hotel to check in, had dinner and now we're off to bed!
PS. I would like to send a speacial birthday wish to my mother Sallye Kirkpatrick on her birthday!!!! Happy Birthday mom, I love you!!!!! Love, Sara Katherine

I am so glad you all are having a blast. I have been thinking about you all day. I kept wondering what you were doing while I was working and attending class this evening. Say hello to everyone for me. With love, Alison
It is great to read about your adventures right after they happen. I'm not a very patient person, anyway :-) You are each blessed by this trip and blessed with this trip; and you bless us with sharing your experiences.
Safe travels to ya'll and make some great memories - once in a lifetime trip for most!
