Beatlemania I

We were not really big Beatles fans, but always did like their music. The Museum down the street from the Walker had a special "Beat Goes On" exhibition on the history of Liverpool pop music, which is a lot more than the Beatles, so we visited it, for starters. Then, we had to find the Eleanor Rigby statue. See illustrations. Vicki says this is positively the last such photo she is taking. Liverpudlian passers-by did give us quite a look.

Me consoling Eleanor Rigby; one of the two reasons I especially wanted to visit 
Liverpool

But she was inconsolable; I looked for Father MacKenzie, but he was away 
writing the sermon no one would hear; especially me























(The opportunity to meaningfully use the word "Liverpudlian" (=def. a resident of Liverpool), a very cool word, in my estimation, is the other reason for visiting).
