Liverpool

So, we just spent the weekend visiting friends in England and I wonder why we don´t travel more often. Pretty much every country is two hours from our doorstep. It´s been way too long since I´ve been in England and I kept telling my friends we´d get there...I think about 8 years have passed, but hey, we made it! I found a cheap flight on ryanair that I couldn´t turn down!

A, Nora and I kinda got to the airport a little late so we did not sit by each other on the plane (well, N was with me) ha. I sat next to two Scottish ladies. Have you ever had a conversation with someone from Scotland? It´s a little bit like running a marathon and you are completely exhausted and dehydrated by the end. I think I may have even gone cross-eyed for a bit. It´s like trying to understand Chinese and actually maintain a conversation. I picked up a few words here and there and she kept talking about her friends kids ...¨wee boys and wee girls¨ how cute is that? If I said Nora is a ¨wee girl¨ I might just get punched. She had on a frilly chirt and Nora kept grabbing her giant boob. Don´t think she minded much.....or maybe she did and I just couldn´t understand her.

We scoped out Liverpool and it was neat to see where the Beatle´s got their start. Pretty wild!!!!

I met David and Ondra when I went on a mission trip at Purdue and I stayed in their house for ten days. 11 years later we´re still friends! So awesome how small the world is! We had a great time and I hope to go back sooner rather than later.
