LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND


*

St Mark's Square in Liverpool
under water (just kidding)
Actually it is an inlet at the port off the
 River Mersey
Remember Ferry Cross the Mersey
by Gerry and the Pacemakers

If you look very carefully you can see the 

Ferry Across the Mersey

*

Liverpool is all about art

The Tate Modern North

in Liverpool is a part of the larger Tate in London

This year throughout the city there are exhibits for the

Liverpool Biennial 

These two pieces caught our eye,

the feather headdress is really soles and insoles of athletic shoes.

Artist Brian Jungen's Warrior 1, depicts Cheyenne-style war bonnets. The other piece is Rebecca Horn's Scratching Both Walls at Once which was originally a performance piece

This banana/lamb represents the city of Liverpool and its original import industries of sheep and bananas.  These sculptures were designed by many different artists and show up all over Liverpool

What would Liverpool be without 
The Beatles
(image created with jelly beans)

*

A special exhibit is currently at the 
Museum of Liverpool
honoring
John Lennon & Yoko Ono

The emotions we felt when experiencing this exhibit are nearly impossible to explain.  The love and passion they expressed for the world and all people was astounding and is still desperately needed in today's world 

John's clear glasses and Yoko's sunglasses on display

Ron standing on one of Yoko's art pieces. 

Underneath those slacks, on his right leg 
is this tattoo in Chinese lettering for 
"Imagine"

*

This amazing installation captivated 
us as we walked through the streets 
of Liverpool

It brings attention and 
awareness to ADHD








*

We just cannot get enough of these 
live aboard canal boats all around the UK

TRAVEL TIPS:

MEDICATIONS: Don't be too cavalier about purchasing medications and dietary supplements just anywhere in the world, even if they are sold over the counter in the USA. Some countries are very strict about what they will sell without a prescription; for example, we tried to buy Neosporin in England.  They will not sell it without a prescription. Be sure you plan ahead and take necessary medication and supplements along with you when traveling. 

WATCH YOUR STEP: It is easy to get distracted by all the new surroundings as you walk; be vigilant of holes and bumps in the road. Falling down can send you to the emergency room and hamper your travels in an instant.

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans"         John Lennon
