Remembering the Titanic and Lusitania

Posted on August 10, 2012 by Rachel • Leave a comment

The Merseyside Maritime Museum is a very appropriate stop to make while you’re visiting Liverpool to satisfy your Beatles-Mania. Liverpool was and is a major shipping town and their history is rich with tales of different seafaring vessels.

Sticking with the England theme in honor of the first day of the Olympics…Covent Gardens, just off King Street in London, England, is a great way to spend the afternoon!

  I thought I would post about London today because the Opening Ceremony for the 2012 Olympics was last night in London!

TODAY we woke up to gluten-free toast at the hotel! The English are so much more in tune with their gluten-free sides than Americans… then we went to see St. Paul’s Cathedral. Very cool. My favorite two events that occurred there are: (1) The marriage of Katherine of Aragon and Arthur Tudor.(2) Queen Elizabeth coming … Continue reading →

We got to England this morning at 9:30 here which, you guessed it, means that we had to sleep on the plane in order to properly adjust to the time difference. HOWEVER, Natalie and I were sitting next to a very smelly lady which contributed to the fact that we were unable to sleep all … Continue reading →
