Friday.

We got up at 7:30.  Mo & Bill drove us to the train station in Preston.  For  2.88 pounds we got tickets to Central Station, Liverpool.  Maureen Hennessy met us at the station at 10:00  (40 minute trip; dirty train & view)

Maureen showed us all around downtown.  We saw Lewis's department store with its statue of a naked man.  We sent to Mathew Street (the site of the Cavern), saw several Beatle  memorials.  We had coffee and scone in that area.

Next, Maureen took us down to the dock area.  The Albert Dock has been renovated into a museum. Lunch was in a fast food area in the dock.  We went for a ride on the ferry "cross the Mersey".  Mo drove us by the Anglican cathedral.  We stopped and went in the R.C. Cathedral. The two are quite close & connected by Hope Street.

Maureen is a die hard Everton supporter.  So, we went fairly close to the Liverpool stadium. 

She showed us an old (13th century) section of Liverpool; Went Derby Village: Grenfell Road (Gwen & Dave, Kittie et al.); Mary Help of Christians (now called St. John Boscombe); St Mathews Church

We stopped at Mrs. Hennesey & saw Mo's sister (Pat) & brother.  Then we went to her place, out for supper & back to the bus.  En route we travelled both Mersey tunnels.

The bus dropped us at the Cock & Bottle in Tarleton.  Dave (Karen's husband) picked us up because Bill was unreachable at the local pub.

Today, Saturday, Bill & I are going to a football game.  Cathy, Emily, Mo & Suzanne are going shopping.
