There are Places I Remember

The Sunday after Thanksgiving Madelyn, Liz and I ventured on a Pilgrimage to the land of the Beatles, Liverpool. Though a hefty 3 hour train ride is required to get there, it was one of the highlights of my semester. True, it was pouring down rain and we spent more time on the train than in the city, but the museum was so interesting it didn't even matter. Basically, it took you on the journey of the Beatles from when they met to Beatlemania to their careers after the band broke up all the while playing music from their concerts and tv appearances.

In Liverpool they have decorated penguins everywhere (similar to the guitars in Nashville or the cows in Chicago). I'm not quite sure what significance penguins have to Western England, but they were still fun!

Headed into the museum!

The Beatles in the children's interactive room- We tried to play All You Need is Love on the piano you jump on (like in Big) but we failed miserably.

Apparently this was actually broadcast over the radio- 32 Beatle degrees! haha! At the end, they dedicated a room to each Beatle and decorated it according to their personality showing footage of just that Beatle. The above picture was taken in George's (my favorite) room

Overall, I'm so happy I went even though Liverpool is quite a treck from London :)
