Another collage, bcos I am lazy, I like collages, and I still have not figured out how to work hello! in conjunction with Picasa(Schpng, I am warning you, DO NOT call me useless).A day was spent in York. Was extremely exhausting considering I didn't get much sleep before. But nevertheless, in good company, and such a lovely place, there was nowhere I had rather been. The city is much small in comparison to Manchester but very picturesque, and shall we say, "less ghetto". It is a city made up of mainly whites of all ages, and it was different to see all these aged people after being in a city full of uni students and young adults. We visited a castle, walked around the city centre, Shambles, a tea shop, walked along the wall, and Yorkminster. And I got a running commentary about the architecture of Yorkminster from Hame(and many more buildings really) while we were there so I dare say I appreciate architecture a lot more now. We also attended the evening service at Yorkminster(Which is the biggest 11th century church in England), which was breathtaking. It is where the romans brought christianity into England and the church was a product of that.
So much history in one city, and in one church, and one day was not enough. I dare say, I will be back.
