Liverpool

We slept in again this morning, then got up and ready about time Jo came around to take us to lunch. We walked to the Egg Café, a vegan restaurant, that was quite delicious. From there we walked through the town center down to Albert Dock which I was super excited about. It started out quite a nice day though it got colder as it progressed but we walked the entire length of the dock. It was so cool to look out across the Atlantic Ocean! There was also the Liverpool Museum and a tribute to the Beatles but we didn’t go into either. Jo snapped a bunch of pictures as we enjoyed the docks though the wind blew our hair all over the place so the pictures are not that good.

We packed a few clothes for the night and took off to Wigam about 40 minutes away where her mum lives. We got to ride on the Motorway, though their streets are so very different from ours and I find them very confusing. Johanna’s mother was very friendly and obliging, offering us all kinds of food and treats when she got home. We prepared to celebrate the New Year at Alex's house, though we knew nobody. Emma and Greg really made the night wonderful, they were so friendly and open to conversation that we could sometimes follow. The New Year was celebrated by running outside, lighting sparklers, and watching fireworks before the cold drove us back inside.
