York

Amidst the packing and putting things away, which has taken several days now, we have planned another trip, this time to the city of York. We are trying to scout out the must see cities of England and knock them off our travel "to do" list before starting to explore outside of England. York is located halfway between London and Edinburgh, so it is a vital hub for transportation including trains and ships. This is another walled city, much like Chester was and is situated where two rivers come together, the Rivers Ouse and Foss. "The Shambles" is a street in York, that is called the most scenic street in all of Britain. They also have the National Railway Museum, the York Minster, Jorvik Viking Center, Castles, National Parks, shopping and tours along the river. It looks really beautiful on the website, www.visityork.org. I have attached two pictures of York on this post. It will be a 2 hour drive for us to get there, so it will be a full day. Pictures and details to follow after our trip!
We are also on day two of Gerbie's new school experience. So far, she has done fairly well. It is hard for her when I first drop her off, but she settles down shortly after that. I am confident that after a few days, she will be comfortable there. When I picked her up, she was in no rush to get home, however, it helped that they were having tea time. Yes, my 2 year old now has tea time every day at 3:30 p.m. Yesterday she was eating a crumpet with jam. I think that is awfully confusing considering they named their school bunny rabbit Crumpet? Now, back to work and unpacking more boxes!
