Beatlemania!!

I got back from Madrid Sunday night and the next morning (Monday) I went to Liverpool to see everything about the Beatles. I went with Alyssia my roommate and her cousin Lynn and her cousins friend Diane. We took a train from Euston Station at 9:00. It was only a two hour train ride and then we arrived in Liverpool Lime Street Station. When we got there we went to the information center so we could figure out how to get to everything. We first went to The Beatles Story which is a HUGE Beatles museum. They have clothes, guitars, and random things owned by the Beatles members and tons of information and replicas about their lives. Too see the stuff look at my pictures on Facebook. :) After the museum we went to lunch at a pub near the museum which had great food! I got a pot of tea (because it was SUPER cold outside), winter bean soup and chips. YUM YUM YUM! We sat there for awhile because we were not in a rush because our train home left at 8:45PM. After lunch we went to another part of the Beatles museum which is in another area. They had all the records given to the Beatles for selling over 1 million copies of songs and albums. It was really cool. Then Alyssia and I saw the 4D Beatles movie which was short and funny. After that museum we went to Matthew street to see Cavern pub which is the first pub the Beatles played at and they played there many times afterwords. They also have a John Lennon statue. Down that street is Lennon's bar, the Grapes (which was the Beatles favorite place to get a drink), and a statue of Eleanore Rigby. After that we got on a bus to go see Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields. This turned out to be very difficult because there were no signs for what stop was next and it was dark out so it was hard to see road signs. But we found our stop with the help of this nice lady and we saw Penny Lane which was not very interesting but still cool to have gone there. Then we walked to Strawberry Fields which is now just a gate. After that we got back on the bus and went to a Christmas store and then went shopping in Urban Outfitters, H&M, and Primemark but I restrained myself and did not buy anything!!! Then it was time to go home so we bought some food to take on the train home. The weird thing was is that the train home was 4 hours instead of 2 like on the way there. But we all had a good time talking and laughing. Lynn and Diane are super great and funny and I had such a good day spending time with them and Alyssia! We got home around 12:45 and I passed out because I had not slept in or well for 5 days straight. I think I am done with going on trips and now I need to focus on papers because due dates are coming up soon!! AHHH
