So according to Google Maps, I walked somewhere in the vicinity of 11.4 miles today. Yeah. Walked to the uni, then into the city centre, then to the People's Palace, then back to the uni. It was an all-day-meander, but still! I'm impressed with myself.
The People's Palace was very cool- it's an interactive museum based on the people who have lived in Glasgow since 1750. They built period-based kitchens and bakeries and things. Perfect for little kids. And me.
Oh funny coffee anecdote: I passed by the "Court of Justice" building, and I thought it said "Coffee of Justice," so I turned and started walking towards it, thinking that it was awesome that there was a cafe in such an imposing marble building. Good moment for me. Anyway had to stop and get coffee after that. Plus my art assignment project is to do a daily drawing, so mine is that I draw something everytime I get a cup of coffee. I'm now that sketch in a coffee shop surrepticiously drawing people around me.
Oh and another sidebar: We went to a pub last night, and everyone got "classy" drinks. I've decided that I want to get something new every time I go to a pub, so I ordered the "Mango Collins." Not going to lie, I ordered it solely because I liked the name.
Took a good number of pictures during my marathon. Here goes!

Factoid: "Trousers" are called "Breeks" in Scottish. Also a baby is a "wean."
