A Day in York!

Yesterday my travels took me to York!  A very cute British historic city.  I took the night bus up from London on Friday night and got to York in the wee morning hours.  It was still a little dark outside so luckily enough, the bus stop was right next to the train station so I was able to go in there for some shelter and took a little nap in the waiting room!  My neck was really sore after the cat nap!  Then I went to my favorite train station coffee place ''Upper Crust'' and to my surprise the coffee machine was broken - so I went from their little mini stand to there full restaurant and got a FREE coffee!  Ok lucky day now.

It was now about 630 so I wandered off into the the city and walked and walked and walked and waited and waited for the city to come ALIVE!  I got some good pictures though I must admit while there was nooone on the streets.  I went to York Minster Abbey first - of course my love for Churchs and Cathedrals.  I ended up walking all around and then came back around 9 and went inside and bought my ticket to climb the tower of almost 300 steps!  Before I did that though, I climbed the steps up to Cliffords Tower which was a look-out in the historic days over the York Castle!  After these two things - I was done with York and headed for the train station to LEEDS!  Here are some clips of York
