After more castles, lighthouses, waterfalls and distilleries we have returned to England. We had a beautiful drive through Yorkshire, where all the buildings are of brick or stone. We came into York, a walled city in the heart with cobblestoned, crooked streets and it's awesome York Minster. We wandered the streets in the evening, looking at the little shops, stopping in the pubs and viewing the Minster in the moonlight. We enjoyed our stay in a little b and b that served a hearty, full English breakfast. I'm not kidding; that includes eggs, fried bread, grilled mushrooms, tomatoes, sausage, bacon and toast. You have to walk for a long, long time to take care of that! The Minster is fabulous. We lucked out and toured it during a service so the organ was in use. It definitely added to the atmosphere. After York we traveled on to Cambridge and visited our childhood friend, Kate King. It was great seeing her and her family again and walking all around the colleges in Cambridge. More fantastic, old stone buildings and lots of bicycles, pubs, and chapels. We are now home with Tamar for a week and will take on London.
