Yesterday we visited Liverpool. We saw George Harrison, Paul McCartney and John Lennon's houses, Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields. Very cool. George Harrison and Paul McCartney grew up in Council houses - sort of the equivalent of our Section 8 housing. George's house is still a Council house. We didn't have time to book the actual tours of the inside of John or Paul's house - maybe next time. Generation gap - I was thinking about buying a T shirt with the Apple record logo, as I always liked it. Joe said "Mom, no one will know - they'll just think it's the Apple (IPod) logo." I could not convince him that folks of my generation would actually know the reference.
Penny Lane looks nothing like the pretty picture you get in your head when listening to the song - I'll post pictures later. The boys actually grew up traipsing around Penny Lane, which was pretty neat.
We also went to the Cavern Club where they started playing. That was also very cool.
