If I were to draw up my perfect trip to London it would have been the one I just took. It was a mix of everything I love to do in one of my favorite places in the world. As many of you know I studied abroad in London in 1998 and that was the […]
How I Spent 3 Days in Liverpool
February 6, 2017 by 10 Comments
What do you think of when you think of Liverpool? I think of three things: The Beatles, Liverpool Football Club, and to a much lesser extent Gerry & The Pacemakers. I first visited Liverpool in 2001.
