Webb Family: 2nd Day in Europe!

Today was definitely a better day, full nights sleep and well rested. We spent the day in Liverpool, touring the City Centre and their shopping district. If we came to Europe to shop, England would be the place. Erik found the Liverpool FC store and was in heaven. You can’t believe the things we saw. We bought Liverpool airfreshner. We also ventured to Anfield where Liverpool play their home games. Pictures down below. From there we went to an amazingly huge church. We were in time for their evening session, where the choir sings. It sounded beautiful with the acoustics.

We have enjoyed our brief stay in England and have loved the people. They are “quite lovely”. We have also learned a few things about the Brits that we never knew.

#1- The men love to wear their Capri’s and flat espadrille shoe.

#2- The English are the only Europeans that drive on the right side of the road. That was very scary as a passenger up front with CJ.

#3- the trunk of a car is called the boot. The bathroom is referred to as the toilet. The elevator a lift, a jumper a sweatshirt,

#4 They don’t have any sprinklers, yet their yards are so beautiful with English flowers. You must ask for your bill or you will sit for hours waiting for them to bring it., The sun goes down at 11:00pm, The weather is never predictable,

#5 One drawback, they don’t care much about food like we do in America and therefore have not mastered the fine cuisine their country is capable of mastering. I have great faith by the next time I visit they will, CJ is bound to change the way they think of food.

#6 In Chester, the City Centre Clock tower has 4 sides. On 3 of those sides is a clock. The side that faces Wales does not have a clock. The people of Chester “Don’t give the time of day to the Welsh.”

#7 we also learned that some old laws still apply because no one has bothered to abolish them like….

If a pregnant women has to go to the bathroom, a policeman is obligated to tip his hat for her to “wee” in, taxi cabs are required to carry a bail of hay in the boot of their car,( to feed the horses) If you are on the Chester wall on Sunday after 12:00pm and you see a Welshman, you are allowed to shoot him with an arrow???? And kill him.

All in all, we had a great time with CJ and Carly. They were great tour guides and hosts. Hope we can return the favor soon. (Thank You)

From Liverpool we decided to stay in Manchester to stay close to the airport. We leave for Germany tomorrow morning.

Until next time!!
