York
Summer 1998
The city of York was the original capitol of England and our city of New York was named after it! It has a well preserved midevil city center and a wall that completely surrounds it. It is about 2 yards thick and takes an hour to walk all the way around it. It provides great views of the city and the bishops gardens! The Minister cathedral maintains that it has the oldest stainglass in Europe. It is a really beautiful, graceful church with Gothic architecture that is similar to Notre Dame in Paris. It isn't dark though, it has many windows at the top to let in the light, the walls are white instead of gray stone and when we were resting for awhile the children's choir started to practice making our visit enchanting.
