York was awesome. Its a city about 5 hours due North of London, population about 200,000. It doesn't seem nearly that big though, more like a larger Pella/Perry. Its because the area of the city with everything in it, and I mean everything, is inside the old city walls which is the area of about one square mile. I didn't get a lot of great pictures on account of me forgetting my memory card for my camera (it only holds like 20 pictures without one) but I saw some awesome things. We saw the castle, the castle museum, the yorkshire dales (from Wuthering Heights!) which look boring in photographs but are really cool in person...you feel really distant from everything and it is really quiet, despite the highway noise..
We also walked along the canal in Skipton (nearby market town) and I fed the ducks and the swans! I even let one swan eat out of my hand, which I wasn't sure was a good idea, but he didn't bite hard. Just a little pinch. We stayed at Bed & Breakfasts, and had real english breakfast in the morning, which included black pudding (disgusting, oatmeal mixed with pig blood and fat) and fried bread, which is not toast and i thought was good.
