Today was once again very long and packed with a dozen
different activities. We had class time in the morning and then toured the
Necropolis in the afternoon (a.k.a. The City of the Dead). There are more than
50,000 people buried there and 3,500 headstones. It was very powerful to walk through it and
we visited the Glasgow Cathedral right after and took some time to journal our
thoughts about how we want to be remembered once we pass away.
The activity for the night was much more enjoyable! We went
to a Ceilidh (pronounced kale-ey), which was very much like Century Ball Room
in Seattle, except that we were taught dances from Scotland instead of swing
dancing. Everyone was very hot and sweaty, including our professors, and most
people were drinking beer. (I also spent a majority of the time deciding which
Disney characters everyone is… I was given Wendy from Peter Pan!)
We have a much more laid back day tomorrow, which I’m
looking forward to since I need to take some time to read and journal for my
classes. I’m missing the countryside and open spaces and I’ve been feeling a
bit claustrophobic being stuck in the city. But hopefully visiting the country
in a few days will help take care of that.
Goodnight!
