On to Sunday. Lori's rental car had a flat tire so they had to take care of that. I continued my strategy of bouncing back and forth between the two cars and went into Glasgow with Beth's family to meet up with the walkers for a day of shopping. The weather seemed like it was going to be nice and the news wasn't telling me otherwise (a "weather girl" popping up for a minute every 1 1/2 hours doesn't help much) so I decided to wear sandals. That proved to be a bad decision as a gloomy rain settled over the city as we arrived. The Barras, Glasgow's big flea market was slow opening, so we moodily huddled under what little shelter we could find until the walkers showed up. The rain finally let up as the walkers were arriving and we wandered about mostly "window" shopping and enjoying the atmosphere of a Scottish flea market.
When we started getting hungry we crammed all 10 of us in the 7-seater van and went in search of Sauchiehall (pronounced "Suckiehall") Street where Beth knew there was more shopping to be had. We set out in search of a pub lunch and found Lauder's which was decorated inside with memorabilia of Harry Lauder.
We continued shopping on Sauchiehall for a good long while. When I knew my dad would be up back in Oklahoma, I called home to say happy Father's Day. Eventually, it was time to part with the walkers and head back to the cottages for the evening, and the day ended nicely.
