This past week has been great getting to know my roommates and exploring Glasgow. We've been down to Byres Road a few times and walked around. We even went into a Belgian pub and ordered strawberry beer! Yum.
My friends from Tucson arrived this week and I have been helping them around Glasgow so they can get to know the city while looking for a flat to let. We went downtown today and had a fantastic time. We didn't realise that today was the Czech/Scotland game and the entire downtown was packed with people in kilts and jerseys with funny loch ness monster hats. There was even a group of three guys playing the bagpipes and drums. They played songs like "The Hokey Pokey" and "If You're Happy and You Know It" and danced to it. So fun.

Afterwards we met up with my roommate and caught the last couple minutes of the game at the local pub, Loch 27. We each had a pint and some appetisers and had a great time people watching. The Scots really take their football seriously. While walking to the pub, we could hear people yelling from pretty far down the road.
