Why Our Lives Might Be in Danger

In case you missed it, today is the World Cup match between England and the US. We couldn't have missed it because England flags are flying everywhere. And because the pub downstairs from our room at the Pied Bull held a FIFA trivia night a couple of nights ago. They would ask trivia and then play obnoxious American pop songs while people tried to figure out the answers. (Sort of a drunken version of "Jeopardy.")

The archive is closed today so we are traveling by bus to Liverpool (about an hour north-ish of Chester). Our Liverpudlian cab drive told us he wouldn't go to Liverpool on World Cup day if he were us. Uh-oh.

We hope we will be safe touring the docks and taking photos at Abbey Road, but if the US beats England today we may have to pretend to be Canadians for the rest of our stay.
