A Day in York

Winston and Eric will be sharing their experiences in sunny York!  We are having a bit of trouble with wifi at the hotel at the moment, so check back for the full post a bit later!

The morning of June seventh marked the end of our stay in Edinburgh and the beginning of our road trip to London, supplemented by an excursion to the city of York. We began the day waking slightly earlier than yesterday in order to have ample time to eat our breakfast, pack our luggage, check out of the Haymarket Hub hotel and mount our bus to leave Scotland. Through a combination of chatting and various means of entertainment, three hours quickly passed and we then made a quick stop at a local plaza to eat lunch. My group made our way to the nearby store named "Greggs" after hearing good things about it from others, and I think it truly did live up to its reputation with its savory baked goods such as their calzones and steak bakes. With full stomachs, we once again got on the coach to continue our journey. Soon after, we arrived at the outskirts of York, where we were dropped off and followed Phoebe for nice walk through one of the few remaining walled cities in the world. After leading us into a large cathedral glowing with the blues and yellows of beautiful stained glass, we had some free time and then once again came together to eat a dinner of roasted chicken with soup. Finally, we met with another tour guide who showed us around the sites of various gruesome happenings such as beheadings and crushings, after which we yet again sat down in our coach and drove off to a hotel, concluding yet another great yet tiring day in the United Kingdom.
