The end of the summer and the quick approach of fall did not do much to quell my desire to meet up with friends, and the perfect opportunity presented itself in the wedding of my friend Scott, to which he graciously invited several of the friends he had made during the tenure of the Infosec Happy Hour, including myself.

So there I was, headed to Glasgow to spend some time hanging out with friends, go to a fantastic wedding and finish the weekend before heading back home.

In the first few days, I spent a lot of time hanging out with Vi (and friends), and exploring the city, such as this street corner...

On the day of the wedding, I may have almost been late to the shuttle, due to having to catch a ride to my lodging and grab Scott's trusty hat, that he had entrusted me with a few days prior.

But we made it on time, and it was a wonderful wedding, full of joy, excitement and music.

After the wedding, I still had a day or two in Glasgow, so I went for another exploration, where I saw the Glasgow Cathedral...

All in all this was a really fun trip, which although was less cyber-ey than my usual voyages, was real fun and gave me the opportunity to disconnect for a very appreciated second!
