Old Entrance to Strawberry Field
Also location of some anti-gypsy commentary.

Eleanor Rigby Headstone
This plot is like a clown car for Rigbys.

Where John and Paul First Met
Just as hard to read in real life, don't worry.

John's House
Ugly.

Paul's House
This was only worth taking because the caretaker is a dead ringer for Paul.

Penny Lane
Or a sign for it, anyway.

Ringo's House
BORING! It's a damn door!

Pile O' Luggage
The woman in this one is a finalist for rudest tour companion ever.

John's Birthplace
Or, rather, an extremely fuzzy picture of the plaque on the front.

Liverpool Cathedral Chapel
This has a nicer name in real life--I just can't remember it.

An Effigy
Or a man holding very still.

Another Effigy
Yep, another one! Plus some old guy.

Closer Shot of the Feet...
For those into detail.

...and the Head.
More detail.

Cathedral Arches
Um, tallest in...somewhere. More facts I've failed to memorize.

The Interior
Great big cathy sort of place. Of course, what you can't see are the restaurant and gift shop, which kind of kills the atmosphere.

Marginally Better Shot of the Window
Only barely--my camera doesn't do well with light.

Coming In
Big ol' door.

Looking Up
...and falling over backwards.

For God's Sake, Man, Shut Up and Die, Already!
A particularly long-winded tombstone.

Monument with a Name too Long and Annoying to Remember
Oh, well. It had a number on the map.

Exterior View of Cathedral
On the nicer day.

Orphans' Tombstones
How's this for quality of life? This isn't even all of them.

Entering the Cemetery
Looking down.

Continuing into the Tunnel
Tombstones lined the path, through the tunnel, all the way through the cemetery/public park.

"Come play with us, Danny..."
REDRUM! REDRUM!

Scary Cheese
Also notice the label was applied upside down.

I Also Went to Germany!
Currently awaiting caption from my German-speaking friend.

Does it Have Columns? Then I'm Taking a Picture!
At least I recognize there's a problem.

St. Luke's
Oooh...aaahhh...building.

The Metropolitan Cathedral
JESUS CHRIST is right--this is the ugliest building you will ever see.

King's Liverpool Regiment
Great, more friggin' statues.

Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.
In Liverpool, the only thing that effectively drove "Video Killed the Radio Star" out of my head (since I heard it at least 4 times over the 2 days) was this statue...which replaced the song with a couple hundred random extras yelling, "KALI!" Kind of a lateral move.

The War Memorial
One side...

The Other Side
...and the other.

One of the Lions
The Standard Model

...and the Pimped-Out Version.
With Cupholder!

View from Albert Dock
Notice that, when the sun is out, I tend to take more pictures. It's to prove that I've actually seen the elusive blue sky.

Lennon Statue at the Airport
3 hours to kill waiting for my return flight.

Beatles Story Entrance
The line for this was ungodly. But there was a pirate store next door! Yo ho!

Churches at the Cavern
Or is it "the Vern"?

Inside the Cavern
Not much else to say, is there?

Mr. Church and Mr. Lennon
Jim with some black guy.

Eleanor Rigby Statue
I don't know how you can be so damn lonely with all of those German tourists swarming you that I had to wait for...

Beatles Shop
Hooray for commercialism!

In Case You Were Lost...
Yes, all of the Beatles' mothers actually gave birth right onto the street!

Yellow Submarine
In front of the airport.
