The Traveling Martens

One night in Liverpool

After a quick nap, we headed out for a tiny Indian restaurant a few blocks away around 8 p.m. The sun was still bright and the city was alive with people of all backgrounds. Another great meal and we were off to watch a show. Needless to say, it was 10 p.m. and the sun was still out!!! It didn't set that night until 10:15ish p.m.

While walking to the venue we saw several bachlorette parties, open pub doors with live bands, alleys with disco lights and people still celebrating the European Cup win. It was amazing - this city was like New York City at night. It didn't appear to sleep.

We didn't sleep much either after our excellent show. Especially with the sun poping through the hotel windows at 4:45 a.m. Oh well, it was all worth it.

The 1:15 p.m. train ride back to the Burke's was uneventful and peaceful. The countryside here is so green and beautiful. The 2 1/2 hour trip flew by and before we knew it, we were at the Burke's house. The home-made fajitas the Burkes had waiting for us when we returned were mouthwatering. It has been some time since we have had Mexican. Kinda hard to find in Asia, Australia and the United Kingdom.
