Liverpool, England

Today was our visit to Liverpool.  It is a short report as Amanda was feeling ill most of the day.

We visited Old Rufford Hall in the morning, drove to Liverpool, and visited the Anglican Cathedral and Albert Docks.

We also took a series of photos from the top of the bell tower:

We had to stop at Albert Dock. Amanda and I both had many family lines that came through Liverpool docks, very likely through Albert Dock.

Afterward, we drove back to Wigan through Upholland so Amanda could see the church where one of her family lines lived.

Tonight we had curry for dinner.  That was definitely a treat.

And lastly, we stopped at my sacred grove location. It is somewhere between Roby Mill and Skelmersdale. I tried to locate it on a map, but it has changed enough I cannot locate it. But here are some photos. I located it on that trip in 2008. Amanda did not want to hike to it, so I went by myself.
