(Blog originally dated June 5, 2007)
Soooo last night when my dad got home from work we went out of Harrogate a ways to see this old abbey called Bolton Abbey. Its an 850 year old church, that still operates today! It was pretty cool. After that we went a little further to a village called Appletreewick. This place was tiny. Were talking 4 or 5 houses and a pub. (With more houses further out in the countryside and such) We at the pub, called The New Inn. The food was excellent. We talked to this friendly english man who was having dessert in the same room as us. The old couple who ran the place and did the cooking came out and talked to us, it was cool talking to them because they had actually been to Northern California a few years ago...
Today was much like yesterday. Did a lot of wandering in the town. Bought some shoes for 8 pounds (16 U.S. dollars), pretty cheap if you ask me. Also got a kinda expensive shirt. 25 pounds. not too bad tho. Anyway, here are some pics from last night and today.
