I have officially survived a European football game! Yesterday Lauren and I went with our friends to Manchester to walk around and then go to a Manchester City football game. We left about 9 because we wanted to make sure that we'd have time to get there before the game, only to find out that yesterday was daylight savings, so we gained an hour! Which meant that we gained time to grab a coffee in Liverpool :). Apparently a lot of stores are closed on Sundays, so we didn't get to go to into some of the really cute looking stores, but we did get to have some wonderful chinese buffet for lunch! They had some of the best wontons I've ever eaten, and my tummy was soooo happy. So after lunch we headed to the stadium and looked around in the shop a bit and then went to the game! It was incredible! Our seats were amazing! We probably could have touched the grass if we wanted to, but we probably would've gotten tackled, so bad idea. The fans were crazy as we anticipated, but it was actually really funny to witness. Manchester City won 3-0 woo! After the game we managed to find the right bus to take us to the train station...we had a nice rainy walk, but that just made the warmth that much better.
Right now Lauren and I are just hanging out in the library before we go to lunch. I've decided that the library is the place to overhear great conversations and to witness really stressed out people...it's awesome. Today we're going into town for a bit and then coming back to work on some of our papers. I finished one paper last week (yay!) so now I only have 3 left! We're going to work very diligently this week and then Saturday we leave for London! This will be our BIG trip of the semester, so we're very excited! We'll be going to London, Paris, and Interlaken in Switzerland. It's going to be glorious! I can't wait to share all of the fun stories/pictures with everyone! Well I'll leave y'all with some pictures from the football game! Also, happy birthday to Daddy! I hope it's great!
Manchester City Football Stadium!
The referees stretching...we found this particularly funny.
The yellow dressed people were there to keep people from fighting! ahh!
The boys celebrating after a goal!

Beautiful sunset on our way out.
