Preston and Liverpool

This morning we traveled to Preston in order to see some of the more famous LDS Church History sights.  Preston is one of the oldest missions that is still operating today.  Our tour guide, Peter Fagg, took us around many different places and we were able to see a lot of interesting things.  To round out our tour we made a stop at the Preston England Temple.  Then we rode the bus to Liverpool, England!  We saw Albert Dock, the Maritime Museum, got some ice cream, and visited the Beatles Museum.  It was very interesting, and the sights were gorgeous.  We spent the night in the Liverpool Hostel, and luckily for me, it was more enjoyable than my first hostel experience. :)
