So remember when I said I'd post my pictures from my England/ Scotland trip from the summer about two months ago? I finally did! These are a select few from our day trip(per) to Liverpool. It was a solid 43 degrees on the northern England coast, even in June, and windy. There's this idea that people have about Liverpool being the dirty part of England, the Fresno of England. But I didn't get that at all. It's a beautiful city, mixing modern glass buildings with historic architecture. As a major economic hub of England, it has turned into a mini-London. It's also a major port city overlooking the lovely and frigid north Atlantic with 18th-century red brick harbors (now a Beatle-themed shopping center) lining the water. These pictures are the city center, which is where very few Beatles sites are present (except the Cavern Club) but even by itself, Liverpool is a fantastic city with so much to offer. It's usually not a place people traveling to the UK place high on their list, but even if you're not a huge Beatles fan or barely know anything about them, Liverpool is so worth the visit anyway.
