We took the 11 AM train to Glasgow. The countryside that we saw from the train was delightful and the ride was only 45 minutes. Our host, David, met is right as we got to the place and he was a delight. We would have gotten there earlier but we were gabbing with the taxi driver. He had been to all the palces he have on this trip except Canada. We talked David's ear off about ourselves and our travels but he was on his lunch break and he had to return. David was such a good host that he returned around 3PM to help us get connect to the wireless. He had two letters of the password switched on the AirBnB webpage and I was not able to figure it out. We got settled in and went to the store for supplies. We got the standard whole chicken and roasted it for dinner. But first we took a walk along the River Clyde. As we walked toward the town center dark clouds were building behind us. Once Leslie looked back and saw the building storm we decided that we should head back. We got back to the apartment just before the skies opened up in a Florida worthy downburst. Dinner, and darkness soon followed and we called it a night.
