S E C T I O N 2 M A special section on travel and adventure by local people. ■ October 29, 2008 A LSO INSIDE CA LE N DA R 28 |RE A L E S TAT E 3 1 | C L AS S I F I E D S 36 A tag-along vacation y husband, Dan, travels to some interesting places for work — France, Scotland, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan and Germany among them. So last May, when, with about a week’s Glasgow — the best of Scotland without notice, Dan asked me if I wanted to tag along to Scotland and France for 10 days, I readily agreed. I spent most of my time in Glasgow while Dan worked in nearby Greenock and I ended up falling in love with Glasgow, which is not usually a tourist destination, but perhaps ought to be. Glasgow met all my criteria for the perfect spot for a tag-along vacation — a place where I felt safe alone, could travel easily on foot and find lots to photograph. The city (which has about 600,000 residents within its limits and 1.2 million in the urban area) has a long and varied history, interesting buildings and architecture, beautiful and extensive public gardens, vibrant shopping and commercial areas, 13 city-owned museums, and some great restaurants and pubs. Plus, a real bonus in these days of the weak dollar: almost everything I did was free. We did have some luck on our side — in the city where the It was a treat to be able to stand and look, unjostled and Mackintosh, as in waterproof raingear, was invented in 1823, we had perfect weather; mostly sunny and mild for as long as I liked, at paintings by famous artists. One of with some overcast and not a drop of rain. It turns out museum’s prized possessions is Salvador Dali’s painting, May is the month with the lowest average rainfall (1.3 “Christ of St. John of the Cross.” A local history section inches in Glasgow, according to Wikipedia) yet warm helped me to understand Glasgow’s history. And just how unused to hordes of tourists is the museenough for just sweaters in the day. Also, since Scotland is so far north, it does not get dark until nearly 9 p.m. um? Unlike almost every other museum I’ve ever been in, in May, leaving Dan and I plenty of time to do things together after he returned from Greenock. By Barbara Wood I also had a little help in choosing what to do in GlasSpecial to The Almanac gow. A local friend who grew up there gave me a list of things to be sure to see. My favorite place, which was not on that list and I’m sure The perfect spot for a tag-along vacation — might not enchant everyone the way it did me, was the Necropolis Cemetery — a massive graveyard perched on a place where I felt safe alone, could travel a knoll overlooking the city. I suppose it shows how safe I easily on foot, and find lots to photograph. felt in Glasgow that I spent hours wandering around the extensive grounds, admiring and photographing the grave markers; many of them poignant works of art, dating back to 1831. Some were elaborate little buildings, some impres- it allows photos; even with a flash. “Maybe just don’t use a sive monuments; others were small, simple markers, a few flash on the more fragile things,” I was told when I asked. Evenings, Dan and I tried pubs or restaurants marked of which had tumbled to the ground. I also loved wandering around Kelvingrove Park. The “inexpensive” in our guidebook. Dan began a probably rhododendrons were all in bloom along with hundreds of impossible quest — trying every single malt whiskey other spring flowers. The River Kelvin meanders through produced in the country. He developed a great technique, the 85-acre park, which also has lovely fountains and however; he asked bartenders for their recommendations, which resulted in a number of free “wee tastes” of whiskeys statues around every corner. When I tired of photographing the flowers and foun- he didn’t have to pay for. One of our favorite restaurants was The Butterfly and tains, I visited the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum on the edge of the park. I had coffee in the museum foyer The Pig, an eccentric basement eatery furnished with coffee shop while being serenaded by someone trying out mismatched antique furniture and dishes, and featuring the massive second story pipe organ. There is also a base- the strangest menu I’ve ever seen. The food was great, made with ingredients from nearby farms. ment cafe. tourists Barbara Wood and Dan Fitzpatrick rest at the top of the Conic Hill in front of Loch Lomond on a late afternoon in May 2008. Photo courtesy of Barbara Wood A quote from the menu: “If you read the menu all the way through and still find you are alive, and if there is nothing you like, then let the kitchen know and we’ll call you a taxi or we’ll phone in a pizza for you or make you something you want.” My dinner, a “Mushsmallroom burger,” was a sauteed Portobello mushroom served on a bun with fresh greens, cheese and chips (French fries to us Yanks). It cost, with drink, only about $10. Our favorite pub was The Drum and Monkey, where we had dinner twice. The old bank building has comfy leather chairs, fireplaces and a big central bar. The food menu is small but includes some traditional Scottish favorites. We tried Cullen Skink, a chowder of smoked haddock, green beans and potatoes and Arbroath Smokie fishcakes. Perhaps the best part was that it was only a 20-minute walk from our hotel, so we didn’t have to worry about transportation. Other of my favorite destinations included: ■ The Botanic Garden, which, in addition to acres of outdoor gardens, includes two massive glasshouses; one houses mostly orchids, begonias, succulents and other small plants; the other, called the Kibble Palace, was moved to the site in 1871 and restored in 2004, and houses largescale tropical plants and art works. ■ The Hunterian Art Gallery on the University of Glasgow campus, where I was one of less than two dozen visitors. It boasts a large collection of the works of James McNeill Whistler, 17th and 18th century paintings by many major European artists, and 19th and 20th century works by Scottish artists.

Photo by Barbara Wood GLASGOW continued from page 25 creation of one of the homes of Glasgow’s favorite son, the architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, whose arts and crafts homes and furniture found international renown. (Glasgow has many other examples of Mackintosh’s work, including the Glasgow School of Art, the Lighthouse, the Willow Tea Rooms, the Scotland Street School and the House for an Art Lover, completed in 1996 from plans drawn up by Mackintosh in 1900.) ■ The People’s Palace was built in 1898 as a cultural center for the masses. Located in the city’s oldest park, Glasgow Green, the grounds also feature the 1888 Doulton Fountain, the largest terracotta fountain in the world. Next to the museum, which tells the story of the city from 1750 to the present in interactive exhibits, is yet another massive glasshouse, the Winter Garden, where you can enjoy coffee or lunch in wicker chairs among tropical plants. ■ Glasgow Cathedral is where I was going when I found the Necropolis. The cathedral is the oldest building in Glasgow and the only remaining example of medieval architecture. The original church was founded by St. Mungo in the 6th century, and his remains are in the lower levels of the cathedral. It has some fine stained glass windows and I spent a long time reading the inscriptions on some of the many memorials placed on its walls. Outside the Cathedral are a number of very old tombs. ■ Glasgow City Chambers — the place I probably wouldn’t have visited if not tipped off by my friend. Completed in 1888 and inaugurated by Queen Victoria, the chambers feature lavish use of granite, marble, tile mosaics, gold leaf, a stainedglass dome, exotic hardwoods, and a “banqueting hall” with murals depicting the history of the city by local artists from the Glasgow School. Free tours are offered twice a day. I was one of six people on my tour and the only American. After leaving Glasgow, Dan and I visited Edinburgh, Paris and Fountainbleu, France. While all had their attractions (who doesn’t love Paris?) as a person who tries to avoid crowds and spending money for no good reason, Glasgow was my favorite stop on this tag-along vacation.

The size of the pupil is automatically adjusted by nerve signals sent to the muscles of the iris to allow just the right amount of light to enter the eye for seeing. The eye’s focusing mechanism also controls the pupil’s size much in the same way that a photographer will close the camera’s aperture to achieve sharper focus. Size reduction in the pupil sharpens near vision, which helps to account for the fact that farsighted people will often squint when doing near work. Corrective lenses can help to remedy this problem. Do you have trouble reading the newspaper or restaurant menu? If yes, corrective lenses can help improve your vision. Bring your eyewear prescription to MENLO OPTICAL at 1166 University Drive, on the corner of Oak Grove Avenue and University Drive. We carry a wide selection of quality frames in the latest shapes, sizes, and colors. We fill prescriptions with lightweight, scratch-resistant lenses. Call us at 322-3900. P.S. Pupil size can change from 2 millimeters to 8 millimeters, which can have the effect of changing the amount of light that enters the eye by 30 times.

This is the subject of a free public lecture at the U.S. Geological Survey at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30, in Building 3 of the campus at 345 Middlefield Road. Research ecologist Kenneth Cole will tell how piles of vegetation hoarded by prehistoric packrats provide clues to previous periods of rapid climate warming. Three sudden warming periods over the last 20,000 years caused the vegetation to migrate and change, giving clues to help interpret what is going on now.

Dear Readers, The turmoil in our financial markets is unsettling for a lot of would-be buyers. Many readers want to know how the situation will affect their ability to secure a home loan. Below are a few tips for obtaining a mortgage. Before you meet with a mortgage broker: 1) Obtain a credit report, three years tax returns, and proof of current employment. 2) Pay off credit cards & car loans if possible. 3) Have at least a 25% down payment. 4) To get the best rate possible, give your loan package to at least two mortgage brokers and make sure they use local home appraisers. Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Princeton Financial have plenty of funds to loan and offer excellent service. Questions or comments?
