On My Own

 I ended my day at Union Coffee, Mary's favorite cafe with an Americano, cappucino muffin and my book. Below are select pictures of the days events while Mary was working. Blogger has been unruly here in England so the pictures are actually all backwards so it starts with pictures from the end of the day and ends with my first adventure to Victoria Museum, however you get the idea.

St Luke's - was bombed during WWII and the shell of the building is still in good condition. Artists and musicians use it as a stage for their shows. Above is a show called Liverpool Ladders

Below is the inside of the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool, it took almost a whole century to build and is absolutely magnificent.

Catholic Cathedral - Entering Liverpool you can see both the Anglican and Catholic Cathedrals and Jesse likes to say they look like the two towers looming over Liverpool city center.

Remember, remember the fifth of November...yesterday I spent the day in Birkenhead across the river from Liverpool and we celebrated the 5th of Nov with a huge fireworks display in Sefton Park, soon to come.
