Yorkshire

Arrived at Yorkshire today. It pretty much rained the the whole train ride there, but cleared up once I arrived, which was around 1330. By the time I got my stuff to the hotel room it was almost 1430, so I didn't have a whole lot of time....things tend to shut down early in the UK, and this is especially so on Sunday's it would seem. I did get to check out Yorkminster, a gothic church built in the 1200's. Apparenty it went up so fast (50 years) that it only covers one building style. Most buildings like this covered multiple periods and so became building "mutts". Anyway, above is a autostitch generated photo, and there are lots more at the Picasa link I mentioned previously.

Tomorrow I head to Edinburgh, where I get to spend a couple of days. I have a day tour planned of northern Scotland, and I'm hoping to make it Roslyn chappel (just to say I've been). Of course there's also Edinburgh castle and the Royal mile. Anybody watch Underground (I think that is what it's called) on Discovery? There was a show dedicated to this area and all the underground passages under the Royal mile.
