Hi! We had a good time today in Liverpool. We started our day with a rather weird tour by a man named Eric, who was completely weird and apparently made many factual errors during the tour. It was not my favorite activity we did, and it was pretty chilly. After the tour, we had a long lunch break (2 hrs) where many of us went to lunch and then explored the shopping near by. Four of us went over to the Museum of Liverpool because Drew and Ben wanted some Beatles memorabilia. We had some fun adventures there. We met back up again at the International Slavery Museum where we explored for an hour on our own. This was the fourth museum we visited about slavery so we were challenged by Dr. Bell to really find the similarities and differences. After an hour, we moved into a private room to discuss the museum. We had a lengthy discussion about it which proved to be both interesting and informative. We stayed so long they actually kicked us out of the museum. 

We then made our way to dinner, a group meal, where Dr. Bell's cousin met us. He is 21 so we enjoyed talking to him about similarities and differences of being about the same age in two different countries. It didn't hurt that he was very easy on the eyes and had a British accent:) We were all sad to see him go after dinner. I actually ordered fish for dinner tonight. The fish was called Gurnard, which I had never heard before so I was proud of myself for trying something relatively new. It was a mild fish that was sort of like cod. Tonight some of us are planning to go to the Sports Pub and watch the Ravens game. Of course I couldn't care less, but it's a Saturday night so I am not going to just stay in my room. An update on Briana. She is not concussed, thank goodness, and is feeling slightly better today. We are hoping that this is the end of the epidemic! Cross your fingers and toes! A common greeting or sign off for us now is to stay healthy! Every time Dr. Bell sees us he asks each of us how we are feeling, even if we aren't sick! Miss and love you!!

  1. Glad that Briana is somewhat better today and that no one else has fallen ill! I also hope the epidemic is over!! Take a bath in Purell!

    Safe journey back to London tomorrow night. Hope the flats there are an improvement on your last sleeping arrangements.

    Looks like you basically have a day off tomorrow. Enjoy!!

    Love you!!
