Arriving in York - The Heart of Historical England

Twenty Four hours door to door from our home in Virginia to our rented Apartment in York England. We will be spending the next 4 days in this lovely medieval town exploring its churches, museums and the surrounding area. Our three room apartment is adjacent to a neighborhood bowling green. This view from the parking area shows an older couple playing croquet and YES the sun is out after flying into Manchester in dense fog this morning.

We walked through the local neighborhood shopping area and headed straight to a cozy local Fish & Chips restaurant. While enjoying the local patrons strong Yorkshire accents Julie introduced me to Mushy Peas. Pretty tasty but not exactly on a weight watchers diet. There is a neat pastry shop a short walk from our apartment so we should be on a first name basis by the end of the week.

We are super tired from our journey
so I'm not sure we will make the walk into the center of York with a
visit to the "Minster" and town walks tonight. Early to bed and we will be off to explore a full day tomorrow.  Thankful for safe travel and the three extra inches in Delta Economy Plus seating.
