So I decided to go to all the LDS Church conventions for young people that I could and this time my travels took me to Manchester, England for the convention for the UK and Ireland.
Here is the English countryside....England honestly got prettier the closer you got to Manchester (I just think it's funny - Manchester doesn't have the best reputation.)
Here was a graveyard coming into Manchester. My Mom's ancestors came from Manchester and I find the thought of my being related to someone in there very interesting...
Here are some of the buildings that make up University of Manchester/Museum of Manchester.
Here's a a neighborhood/road across from where we stayed.
Here are the dorms where we stayed. They were built for the Commonwealth Games and were very nice.
We took part in a variety of workshops, including learning how to swing dance (here we are learning the 'basics')....
And then the ever useful 'how to handle a python' workshop ;) And just in case you're wondering, his name was not 'Monty' ;) (Ok, that is a sign that the British are starting to affect me - they seem to love puns like that - sorry...
(WARNING: Kids, do NOT do this at home.)
I had a good time and felt 'spiritually' good and 'fed'.
I took a bus to Liverpool so I could fly to Paris (to go on a trip with my friend, Ellen), here is the airport...
and what could be more appropriate than a Yellow Submarine?! ;)
It's just sitting there in front of the airport! Haha...
