Liverpool

We had a lengthy bus trip today from Edinburgh, Scotland to Liverpool, England. We stopped near the border of the two countries for lunch and a final chance to buy Scottish souvenirs. I buckled and bought some Scottish whiskey liquor and a tartan tie. I hope the neck tie lasts longer than the liquor will. 

Once we arrived in Liverpool, the choir sang a concert at Liverpool Cathedral. Because I was working I didn't get a good picture but it is worth googling to see how grand and wonderful this so called 'modern' cathedral is.  The concert went well and we all enjoyed singing our pieces one last time.

After we checked into our hostel we ate dinner and headed out on a walking tour. We learned lots of interesting tidbits about Liverpool and the Beatles. Perhaps the most exciting sights were the remaining stragglers from the gay pride festival.... 

Once our day had settled down, some of the crew from the tour had a pint at a local pub where they brew their own beer downstairs. We happened upon the monthly Sea Chanty Night and were able to hear a group of people singing at the top of their lungs from the back room. Definitely a highlight!
