Memories: The Mersey Ferry, An Interesting Ride
On Saturday, for sentimentality’s sake, I took a ferry across the Mersey. The round trip is 50 minutes, and we hardly saw the time pass. There were two main distractions:
1. A Long Haired Miniature Dachshund puppy called Sam sat next to us. He was doing a homework assignment for "puppy school": taking a ride on public transportation. Not only was he very relaxed, he enjoyed a lot of attention and strokes from everyone around, nestling in my lap for a good portion of the trip. (No nervousness, unlike my older dog Lev who can shake terribly on boats, as in thunderstorms. Sage, my younger dog, on the other hand, is just as calm as Sam was.) All dogs have their own ways, like humans. Some things you can’t change, even with training. We look forward to reading more about Sam’s progress on his blog: samlamb.wordpress.com
2. After pulling out of Seacombe dock and turning around, the river got choppy (The commercial ship that was adjacent to us shows this, inserted below. Also, please note the Liverpool skyline in the background.) A big wave shot across the upper deck and we were drenched. Quite a surprise! Wet through to our undies, it took most of the rest of the day to dry out!
