Day 1: York

We're just enjoying walking "The Shambles". Look it up.

Clifford's Tower stands as a proud symbol of the power of England's medieval kings. Originally built by William the Conqueror to subdue the rebels of the north, it was twice burned to the ground, before being rebuilt by Henry III in the 13th century.

We climbed to the top of that hill. (There were steps)

Here we are inside York Minster, Northern Europe's largest Gothic cathedral.

What...we missed Bear.



Preston is in front of York Minster, posing with Constantine, who was proclaimed emperor near this place.
Preston and the po-po (a.k.a. bobbies) in York.

I'm unsure of the significance of this. I just thought it was neato.

I think if you're a 'ma' you might want to stay away from there. Great Pictures!
