Beatlemania!

Thats it, everyone. I (katelyn) am moving to Liverpool. I cant even begin to explain how wonderful it was. Alex, Katelyn, and Bryce hopped on a 6:15am train in Edinburgh and were the first to arrive from our little group. We met a super nice guy named Angus who worked on the train selling food and drinks. He was thrilled to tell us all about the places we were zooming through. He also gave us some free cookies because I guess we looked really hungry.

Eventually Ingrid, Karriann, and James arrived and we met Ingrid's friend Steffy who we stayed with. Steffy was amazing and even made us homemade American breakfast in the morning. She took us all over. We went to the fantastic Beatles story tour and took 3 milion pictures of all the cool stuff. This museum was the greatest museum ever. Not only is it obviously filled with Beatles stuff, but it's interactive and gets you up close and personal to the kind of people they were. There was a yellow submarine room with an actual submarine, fish, the song playing in the backround, and memorabilia. At the very end there was a giant room painted all white with a white piano and the lyrics to "Imagine" on the wall. In the back there was a wall filled with a collage of faces. It was amazing. We all just stood there for a while singing the song and thinking about how perfect life was in that moment.

After the museum we went to find "The cavern" where the Beatles started out. We found it and saw you had to pay to get in so we Just stood outside looking at it for a while. I was taking pictures when I noticed Steffy was gone. Ingrid just said she was off being Steffy. I brushed it off and went back to taking pictured. I looked over a while later and she was coming over to us and said she talked to the bouncer and he said we could go in and have a quick look for free! Apparently she told him how overly obsessed with the Beatles I am, so he let us in. There also happened to be a Beatles coverband playing when we were there so that was awesome.

After that, we went to Lennon's bar which had Beatles stuff all over. They were also having a karaoke night which was a blast. We just sat there enjoying the perfect day, and singing along to the songs we knew. It was wonderful, neither of us wanted to leave.

Hope all is well back in the states and you guys get through this crazy winter! Love you all! :)
