\"The<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
Did well over 13,000 steps on Friday and the early morning hours of today (Sat.)<\/div>\n
First stop today, check to see if that tardis\/police call box station we spotted earlier was really in business for medicinal cbd products. It turns out they can\u2019t advertise the shop\u2019s existence when it\u2019s closed, so you just have to know the shop is there and when it\u2019s open. \u00a0Chris at CBT Tardis was super helpful, knowledgeable, and keen to let us sample the goods.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All stocked up for the rest of our stay, we headed further up a different hill to get our afternoon breakfast. This time at a vegan-friendly place called the Butterfly and Pig where social butterflies meet and hungry people eat. \u00a0Great menu for vegan, vegetarian and carnivore types.\u00a0 We were way too full to sample any of their yummy looking desserts.<\/div>\n

A little hard to find as it is in the basement of the building.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Paul got a delicious spice flavored carrot soup and a frittata. I ordered a breaded eggplant burger. We both had some super delish freshly steamed hot chocolate.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After breakfast-lunch we walked around the town a bit more, collected a few more street art photos, all the while hearing some songsters busking on the main streets. Some out in the open, others nestled under an overhang, or small nook for better acoustics. \u00a0The music travels a surprisingly long way. \u00a0I assume it is because of all the tall old buildings and the fact that many of the streets are pedestrian only.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One of those main streets being Sauchiehall. To me this looks to be an old Gaelic sort of name, so it sounds nothing like what it may look like to you. You may be surprised to learn it is pronounced Sockiehaw or maybe, depending on which part of Scotland you\u2019re from, Suckiehaw.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
For tonight first act Barza, another group from Brittany, took the stage. \u00a0A very dramatic stage performance with great songs with back stories before each one. Which was super nice after all the years listening to them, not being a Breton speaker, I finally know what the songs were about.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The second act was\u00a0 Xabier <\/b>D\u00edaz with all-female voice and percussion ensemble Adufeiras de Salitre who he collaborates with. Many dance tunes played and even a bit of dancing from those on the stage.\u00a0 I am going to put a link at the bottom which shows one of the dances\u00a0 which Xabier preformed while the ladies sang and played their square drums.\u00a0 If you read yesterday\u2019s post, you may remember that these folks appeared at the Glee Club for a quick set the day before their concert hall performance.\u00a0 They are from Galicia, with is located in the very north of Spain.\u00a0 They have their own language.\u00a0 Like Brittany in France, Galicia is a part of Spain that I would like to go to.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You can see the dance in this YouTube video: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CwjZd5ak7xA<\/div>\n

We left the main venue in some light rain last night. We quickly headed over to the Glee Club to see if we could get a good spot at the head of the queue to score some tickets. \u00a0Amazingly as we approached we could see there were already some young folks waiting in line, so we fell in behind them. Before you know it, the line was snaking along the building and the light rain had picked up a bit. \u00a0Luckily, there was a bit of an overhang above us that protected us a bit from the worse of the elements.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
About 10 mins before the doors opened the door manager came out and informed everyone that all seats were sold out and that no further tickets would be available until half 12.\u00a0 The grumbling and moans of disappointment could be heard all through the line, ours mixed in with voices.\u00a0 The amusing young folks behind us were not so pleased, since only a few of them had tickets, but all their friends didn\u2019t. \u00a0We tried to make a deal for a couple of their tickets, and Paul was upping the ante, but I figured we should let them hold onto what they had for late admission. \u00a0No deal was struck, and one of their comrades apologized jokingly for his countrymen and his country. \u00a0We joked we were going to follow them around all night, but we soon went our separate ways.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The rain was coming down pretty good at this point, streams of water swiftly flowing down the hilly cobbled lit by the \u00a0street lights. \u00a0It was really very pretty out there in the cold dark rainy night, all the various colors from buses, shops and pub light reflecting in the puddles.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We were soaked through, and decided to go back and change get a bit and maybe go back up the hill in a bit to get into the club at half 12, as they say here.\u00a0 The club would be going until to 3:00 am so we might still catch most of the show.\u00a0 In the end, we worked on getting the blog updated and called it a day.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
