York



since Sean has become a tea drinker, he really needs to save up for this Batman teapot


York is a walled city-here we are walking the wall


the size of the cathedral is massive compared to the buildings around it


Sean loved the gargoyles


in front of our B&B


street with shops in York

We've been enjoying York very much.  The streets are narrow and charming and the fabulous York Minster Cathedral is very impressive.  It is the largest Gothic building in Northern Europe.  You may have noticed that the main window in the Cathedral has the shape of a heart.  The window is called the "Heart of York".  A minister that we chatted with said that he asks people what they think it means and they always say:  "It represents God's love for me."  Mary has been a little under the weather, she thinks she has a bit of a cold, but we all know that she has haggis poisoning...  Tomorrow we will stay in York until around 2PM and then we will take a train to Oxford.  We will stay in the youth hostel there. (Thanks for the tip, Diana=)  Then it's on to London!

Sean-Just ask Uncle Mike, I am a HUGE gargoyle fan. I have a couple of my own including Elvis my live gargoyle. Check out his toes the next time you visit. He's got gargoyle toes ;-)
