Last week, my class and I went to Glasgow, the second most important
city in Scotland. While we went to the hotel we surprised with the victorian styles of the buildings and streets, with the beautifuls parqs. The first day we saw the Kelvingrove museum. It has a lot of
galeries with great painters such as Salvador Dali.
other day we saw the Hunterian Museum and all its stars items. Next day we visited
The Mackintosh House, its a wonderful reconstrucion, it have a victorian style, we
liked it! The other days, we relaxed in the most important shopping areas (Buckaman street, Prince's Square...)
I bought too many clothes here. It was fantastic! We walked the Argyle Street, Sauchiehalll street.. And we ate in a Popular restaurant "Rogano", in the centre. The last day, we visited the wonderful University of Glasgow, it's very big,very good and the outside looks like a castle. We also visited the Celtic stadium.
I really like Glasgow, his climate isn't pleasant, but his people, his appareance, his history, his costumes are wonderfuls!

Glasgow Holidays

Last summer we went to Glasgow the second most important city in Scotland. We went to the West End of the city an enormous place in the city where you can find a lot of shops and theaters and museums too. We stayed all the first day in the West End buying a lot of clothes. We went to the Hunterian museum too where we saw and learnt a lot of things I specially liked the zoology museum because i like animals. I really enjoyed it!. We went to Mackintosh's house and it was a beautiful house. We walked through the city everyday and I was really tired, but it worth it. I hope that I'll go soon to Glasgow. I really loved the journey,Glasgow is a beautiful city ;D.

The best summer, in Glasgow!!

Hello!!!

I was in Glasgow last summer and I would like to tell you the most interesting things happened to me there:

When we arrived to the airport, the bus was waiting for us and transported us to the hotel. During this trip we saw a street bagpiper dressed with the typical kilt and other clothes which the driver told us they were typical too the bad think was we couldn´t hear him. In the hotel, they received us with enthusiasm and show us the bedrooms.

The first days spent normally, without anything to tell, only used for accustom us to the idiom (I learnt a lot), the zone and the weather, but the ninth day we went to the Hunterian Museum. It was really fantastic!! There were dinosaur’s fossils and skeletons, sculptures… And in the zoology museum there were animals from all around the world; my favorite was the platypus, it´s really interesting.

We also went to the Glasgow International Comedy Festival; it was really funny, and I don’t understand a lot of things.

The twentieth day was the best! We went to the Celtic park for watch a football match, obviously, that were not the “Old Farm” but it was really exciting!! Celtic beat Aberdeen 2 – 1.

Other things we did were: went to a shopping centre (I think it was the Buchanan one) for buy some souvenirs for our families, I bought a cup with the draw of the University of Glasgow and a T-shirt. We also went to a brewery and we had the opportunity of taste one of the best beers of Ireland!!

I´ve enjoyed a lot the visit!!!

We visited many places, Glasgow Cathedral which was built the first stone, college near the cathedral, the main library of the city, the Mitchell Library is very nice. We also saw many theaters as the Royal Theater, many museums Kelvingrove Museum, the Gallery of Modern Art and the Burrell Collection all free. We were also looking at many traditional pubs, many restaurants and tried a “chip supper" and "Irn Bru"(a large piece of fish and potatoes with the most popular soft drink in Scotland).

Glasgow holidays


Last Easter we stayed in Glasgow two weeks which is one of the best cities of Scotland the same as Edinburgh. We visited the Mackintosh´s house and it´s very marvellous. Also we were in the football´s stadium with the Glasgow Rangers´ team. Near the stadium,there are a lot of parks and we went to the Buchanan Shopping Centre and its famous fashion streets. We saw the "The Glasgow Boys" colletion made by a Scotish artist and it was very interesting because it explained some history. This two weeks were very funny and I´ve learnt so much.
