June 18-21 Liverpool

On Monday the 14th of June, Joe and I saw my parents off on their cruise and we decided to meet again in Liverpool that Saturday the 19th to spend the day together again. When we got to the city the day before, there was a misunderstanding with the guest house which left us stranded outside for about an hour. Traveling is always full of surprises, isn´t it? We did make to our room, which was pretty nice and the owners of the place were super friendly.

The next day, we met with Mom and Dad and did a hop on hop off bus tour with a guide, named Loopy Lou, that was a little too chippery for my taste. She did make things interesting though. We also went to the top of the Liverpool Cathedral and saw amazing views overlooking the city. We had lunch at a pub and walked around a little before seeing Mom and Dad off. That was hard for me to do since I miss them very much.

The morning after that, Joe and I attended a Baptist church, which was fun. The music was lively and the preacher was very good and actually funny. The congregation was also very friendly. After church we went to an African festival that was held in a park near our guest house. Different bands all over the world were flown in and there was lots of food. We tried food from North Africa and the Caribbean that was very very good. After the festival, we moved into a hotel a short distance from the airport since we had an early morning flight into Rome the next morning.
