Today we spent walking around York during the day and touring York Minster . Tim and David decided they were going to do the "Everything" Tour, which included walking up to the top of the tower some 192 Yards, 275 narrow steps up. We'll download the pictures when we get to London and on a higher speed download - but suffice to say, I saw Tim & David in the Crypts below the Minster where the Roman, Norman and Saxon ruins can be seen and they were dripping with sweat, and had already gone to get a drink down at Starbucks, came back and were still huffing and puffing.
The Minster is gorgeous. It's caught fire twice and has had to be retrofitted as it was crumbling even prior to the fire in the '70s. They've spend 25 years working on ensuring the Minster is preserved.

We also walked throughout the Shambles, have eaten at several pubs and have walked our feet off. Still haven't found that fabric store yet! ;-)
Our house here in York is an old country house apart of a 5 house estate. They are actually up for sale. The house is 5 bedrooms 1 & a half bath. The so-called shower is actually a tub with a shower handle off of the tub faucet. It makes it challenging. The heat upstairs really doesn't work and neither does the dining area lamp, but its still nice. Washing our clothes has been a challenge. The washer is actually a washer and dryer in one. No directions provided on its use, but we've figured it out. The washer runs for 2 hours and the dryer for one. We're still waiting to see if its actually just an hour! LOL.
Tomorrow either on to Edinburgh, Scotland or to Scarborough.
