My next pet will be a superlambanana

So today I did a walking your in Liverpool after a failed attempt to do laundry, and a depressingly empty common room, where I didn't want to do homework happened. So basically I left to go pick up my tickets for tomorrow so I wouldn't have to do it really early in the morning, and I ran into this free walking your. It happened to be all people from my hostel and I decided it would be a good way to pass 3 hours, and maybe learn about Liverpool beyond the Beatles. Which I did. Turns out Liverpool has a ton of history, from the civil war, to World War II. I even went into a few museums on my own (gasp). One museum I went in had an exhibit about what it was like on the boats back in the 1700s on the way to America, and they had it set up like you were on a dark dingy boat with bunk houses and all that, but it felt like I was in a haunted house with manic and stating at me, so I raced through it and that was the end of my museum adventures. My tour guide who is from Chicago told me about an above average Mexican food place here, which means it's acceptable, and I went and got a burrito. It really wasn't Mexican food, but they did a really good job of trying and I wasn't disappointed. It reminded me more of the burritos I used to get in Collins while at Baylor, where it wasn't Mexican food, but it came close. I was happy and I really can't complain. 

Other things I leaned on this walking tour:

1. There are such things as lambananas

2. The reason you see purple trash bins around Liverpool is because of the rivalry between Liverpools two soccer teams, one red and one blue.

3. Liverpool has a mascot bird which is somewhat of a myth, know as a liver bird pronounced lie-ver

4. There is a red phone booth inside of one of Liverpools cathedrals

5. There is a pub here, the Philharmonic, which had marble urinals. I saw them. 

6.  Liverpool used to be a dirty, scary place with a big mud hole in the middle until the last 10 years when in 2003 they spent over 1 billion pounds to fix the city center. 

So in summary, I'm glad I came to Liverpool, and I'm glad I stumbled into this walking tour. Liverpool is a strange strange place. Here have a picture.

I also got an ice cream come while on the pier today, and it had one of those chocolate things I was talking about in yesterday's blog, so I took a picture so that it might make more sense.
