I know I'm a bit behind on entry's so here's me catching up :)
On Sunday Lisa drove us to Liverpool to see the city. We started at the big Cathedral in town, which i don't remember the name, and to me all of the churches look like cathedrals because they are sooooo old looking here. After we toured around the cathedral we walked to the downtown area or "city centre" as the locals call it here to Matthew Street "home of the Beatles"!!! It was really neat to see. It's basically a shrine of the Beatles and if you're into the band you get an eerie feeling about the area thinking that the band members have walked on the same cobble stone street that you're standing on that very moment (wink wink Grandma Susie cause I totally thought of you the entire time we were down there! You'd of loved it!).
Anyways, what was even cooler was that we actually went into the pub and stood on the stage that the Beatles played on, i think, it might have been a replica though, b/c I think I read that the original pub closed down or something? Anyways, it's cool, check out the pictures!
After touring around Matthew Street we went down to the harbor, I'm finding that it's pretty similar to the US here in England, a lot of the same foods/restaurants, beer, etc. though they do have way better fashion here, which is very tempting :( too bad the pound is double my dollar cause I wanted to buy a £4 shirt that was sooo cute here :(
Anyways, much love, Cass
