At 3:45 to 4:15 we visit York, which was once a Viking strong hold. Walk by medieval defense walls and view Clifford's Tower of York Castle. The tour guide, Lurch (no this is not the character from the Adams family), lets us walk around on our own for 30 minutes. Carrie and I are tired of shopping and decide to find a nice quiet place to sit and talk. We go to the Green House Cafe, located at 12A Church Street, York YO1 8BE. The cafe is small and quite charming. We order a chocolate milkshake, which is just chocolate milk to them. We enjoy the peace and each others company. York Minster is the largest gothic cathedral with vaulted ceilings and stone pillars. The east window depicts the beginning of time and the timeline continues to the end. No pictures are allowed without previously paying 2 English Pounds for a license to do so. As we walked through a choir began to practice. Their heavenly melody filled the cathedral bringing it to life before my eyes. The walls seemed more bright and the sun light filtered through the windows with such grace that I could imagine the glory of this church when it was first built. The experience was...heavenly. |
