We went to York on our Third Day. We rode the train in First Class, I was surprised to find it very delightful. The scenery was lush and green with rolling hills very beautiful. We had done some geneolgy before we left and found that on our four grand parents line we had traced their lines back to the mid 1600's where they all had came from England. We found our selves wondering why they would want to leave such a beautiful country. York is was built in the 13th century. They built a wall around the city. The above picture was taken while we were walking on the wall. It was fun to look down into the back yards and see the beautiful gardens. They had fun shops and boutiques there we found a few treasures to take back. We took a hop on hop off bus tour that was to last until 1900 hours and we were to be back to the train station. However the buses quit running and 1700 hours and we found ourselves stranded with no way to get back to the station. It took us a while to figure that out. But we walked in the rain and had a good time. We finally ran into the area they parked the buses and asked that someone take us to the train station. We paid them 10 pounds and they were very happy to do so. We found that the people in England are very kind and we enjoyed them very much.
Another day of blessings!
