Some things that I learned about Liverpool today: walking is a much better way to experience the city than taking the bus even if you have an all day bus pass, the museums are free and super interesting, people need to wear more clothes, Albert Dock looks a lot like Navy Pier in Chicago, there will be at least 50 bachelorette or "hen" parties tonight, and the bus trumps walking after getting lost and walking almost a full marathon around the city.
Here is a slideshow of some of the pictures I took from the World Museum, International Slavery Museum, Maritime Museum and Arbor Point in general.

I also need to post these pictures...
Yes, they do sell alcoholic Beck's (cough, cough Ryan)
Enjoying the complex meal of peanut butter and bread for lunch (and dinner) since I spent a lot of money on my Lion King ticket for tomorrow.
Taking after Ryan Snodgrass, but I don't hate it considering the view.

Also, this is from Dublin...but...Mom, there are "duck" tours like in Boston only they are "vicking" tours. Love seeing so many things that make me think of my family even more than I already do!
So that has pretty much been my day. I had to get up at 4:30 AM to catch the bus..didn't sleep much as there were some pretty rude girls in my room who were screaming even though the other 10 people were trying to sleep. Oh well. I got the bus on time and the flight went well...we barely had time to do anything but take off and land because it was so short. John Lennon Airport was madness. I've checked into a new hostel which is pretty neat...there is a nice patio/yard out back and everyone is very friendly. It sounds like there is a party going on downstairs and I am sure it would be fun but I am tired and am hoping its OK and socially acceptable that I go to bed soon. Wanted to process my day and sit down...I'll be social tomorrow. And see Lion King :)
I know I don't have to post every day, but sharing this with you (whoever is looking) makes me feel like I am experiencing it with others which is a good feeling. So much good stuff, don't want to keep it all to myself.
I have another article for tomorrow's post...it is a good one...I am just too tired to type more!
