Liverpool

We took a Virgin train from London to Liverpool on Monday and spent the day with cousin Keith Speed seeing the sights around Liverpool. Keith is English and has lived his entire life in and around the Liverpool area. Liverpool is a fascinating city with a rich history of maritime commercial trade and innovative port development. Of course, it is also the home of the Beatles. There are wonderful, open pedestrian malls for walking all around the city and public transportation is an easy and inexpensive way to get around. Liverpool architecture is bold and shows the successful port economy enjoyed by Liverpool for the last 300 years. Thank you, Keith, for a wonderful day in this beautiful area of England. The trip by train is only about two hours each way from London.
