Kennedy Meadows Scotland Style

Before I get to the KM bit of this post, here's the itinerary for my trip to Europe! We fly into Paris May 30 and we're there for 3 nights, then we take the train to Brussels for a night and then on to Bruges for a night and finally Amsterdam for 2 nights then back to Glasgow on June 6th! I'm really excited because I've never been to any of those places, especially Paris! I'm just glad we finally sorted the rooms and flights, so now we just need to pack and decide what to do!
Now for the KM bit. Last night was my friends going away party since he's moving into his own flat. He has been renting a room from a woman in Glasgow so she threw him a party last night and it was her partners birthday too and it was Texas themed so all of the Scots were dressed in plaid and cowboy boots! It was great! After we all got there and were chatting a bit they brought out a guitar and banjo and started playing and singing which was so great! When I looked around and if no one was speaking (the accent always reminds me I'm in Scotland! :) it was just like being at Kennedy Meadows. So even though I don't get to go this year it was like I was there anyway which was so great and I'm so glad that I got to be a part of that party, it was a blast! I even (attempted, and I'm sure it was terrible) to play some guitar for them, though I had to read the music on my phone so it was a little shaky, but we all had a really great time.

Summertime and the livin is easy

Well I haven't posted in a while I'm the only family member with a blog who isn't good about keeping up with it, though I have mus less interesting things to say! Exams are done and we are just enjoying this amazing summer weather! After it stopped raining (a reminder that, yes, we do in fact live in Scotland and just because it's May doesn't mean it's not going to rain) but the weather has been phenomenal! A reminder that we get to live in this amazingly beautiful and wonderful city! The sun presents Glasgow at its best, allowing the colors of the lush green punctuated by the bright colours of the flowers. Glasgow really is a beautiful city. For now we are enjoying the warm weather a blue skies!
