City of York
Saturday the 29th of May we all had a free day to do most whatever we wanted to do. I sort of talked the group into going to the city of York. York is about a hour north of the city of Grantham by way of train. All of us set out to investigate this city that it is rich in history. The whether was cool and rainy which dampened our moods a little. We arrived at York and divided up into smaller groups so we could have a little more mobility.
The site that catches one’s eye at first is the beautiful York Minster. It is a beautiful structure that towers over the whole city. There are so many sites to see at York that a person could stay here for several days and not see the same thing twice. Other sites to see are the castle ruins, Richard the third museum, the York dungeon, the Shambles that is a exhibit from the medieval period,and the wall that once protected the city is still standing in most places. One last thing I forgot to mention about York is the shops. If one is a shopper you will be completely satisfied when leaving York.
I would like to go back to York someday when I could send a little more time there. I would highly recommend this if anyone ever has the chance to visit this location. Before going do a little homework on what is available to see. After leaving we traveled back to Harlexton and reflected on the day. I know that fatigue is starting to sit in on the group, but York was a positive experience.
