Photos of Liverpool and the canal path

Today I did nothing except read Jane Eyre, go for a walk to Galgate with Germa, and enjoy free dinner from Globe Cafe while being amused by Falcon's British-Chinese accent. I'm not sure how I dissipated all of the hours in between. But it has been a very enjoyable and relaxing day.

Photos!



Across the street from the bus station





A church that was mostly destroyed in WWII





Lori and Saudya







Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King













I am deeply in love with this building. It is extraordinary. Sublime even? (OH NO! The S word! Jeff, you will just have to deal with it. I promise it was sublime.)






This is inside the Liverpool Cathedral. Slightly more commercialized...much less beautiful....





A cafe and a gift shop. No, they are not outside the cathedral, they are inside. Commercialism much?





On top of the tower of Liverpool Cathedral!





That view extends to Wales. You can see the mountains of Wales in the background.













BLUE SKY!



This restaurant was fantastic. Very inexpensive, very delicious food, and it was really cute inside.



Entrance to Chinatown



Flags for Chinese New Year celebrations



I just love the juxtaposition of the ride and the cathedral....



Docks





Penny Lane!



Our bus!



George Harrison house?...maybe?.....



This just amused me. I really don't know why. I don't want to think about it much either. It just makes me laugh.



Strawberry Fields forever!





John Lennon's house at some point in time. Probably between the ages of 4 and 4 1/2, that seemed to be the general trend.



One of the many parks in Liverpool as seen out the window



See, I think this actually WAS George Harrison's house....hmmmmm.





The Cavern Club is awesome inside. Someday I will go back there and actually have a drink. It's just so damn cool.





We couldn't resist taking pictures of these...this was at the Rococo Cafe where we enjoyed dessert.





Lemon and chocolate cake. I had coffee cake, it was delicious.

The next day I woke up and it was sunny and so I decided to go for a walk!



Okay, so if you look at that cottage in the middle, and you look right under it, you see a little black dot, and that black dot is a cat.



BLUE SKY IN LANCASTER!!!!



The puddles all reflected the sky and were very beautiful.



Canal path





Patos!



Maman et bebe moutons!!!



I had quite an adventure navigating these puddles, which often expanded to take up the entire path. I at last figured out how Elizabeth Bennett became covered in mud on her walk to Netherfield.



Leaves!





More mama and baby sheep!









Town is near! Almost there!





View of the town from the castle

Priory church



View from the priory church



MOUNTAINS WITH SNOW!!!!!!!!












Typical street in Lancaster. I can work my way around Lancaster by looking at the slope of the street. I have no idea how the streets intersect, but I know the geography well enough that I can figure out what is down and what is up.
