Liverpool, England: 11 July 2016
Day 11
To quote Justin, we are "...off to see where the boys got their start."  We got tickets to go to The Beatles Story.  We arrived in Liverpool after about three and half hours drive.  We stopped along the way to get gas and have brunch.  Justin found a cover for his phone.  He's been carrying it around in a little travel bag of mine since we couldn't find a case yet.  One of the salespeople we talked to along the way shared that he had carried his new phone around in a sock for the first few weeks.


The Beatles Story was great.  We spent a bit under three hours looking at memorabilia from Hamburg, from the Cavern Club, the Ed Sullivan Show, and all points beyond.  The really did a good job of capturing the times as well as the story.

We had a funky little hotel room at the IBIS
Styles Liverpool Center.  Everything in this city is Beatles.  I pity the poor soul who was born here but doesn't like Beatles music... but then, too bad for them.  We had dinner is a very traditional British Pub.  Both Justin and I opted for burgers rather than more traditional fare.

Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da...da-da-da-da, life goes on ... and isn't it grand!
