We're on a spiritual quest

Ask about the title sometime - short version: Americans have too much time and money.

We're in London now but I thought I'd share a few pictures of York. IMG 3412 The Minster. We did the tour, fun but we're sort of churched out at this point. IMG 3418 York has reconstructed most of the wall that used to surround the city. You can walk it for some great views. IMG 3422 The Minster from the wall. IMG 3409 One of the old gates on the wall. IMG 3447 Bridge over the Ouse river that runs through York. IMG 3459 St Mary's (or the remains there of). IMG 3472 This is an area they call "the Shambles" - rumor has it it was the inspiration for JK Rowling's Harry Potter/"Diagon Ally". I should mention the girl with the curly long hair and glasses in the lower right corner, Hazel, was our tour guide on a walk of the city. She's an archeology student at York U (or whatever it's called) so she had some interesting insight into the history of the city.
