(Blog originally dated June 7, 2007)
yes, i know i may be going overboard with all these blogs. but you dont have to look if you dont like them! haha.
So yesterday my dad didn't have to go work until around 5 pm, so we spent the day in York, a town not too far away from Harrogate. We visited an ancient church, older than the Bolton Abbey from the last blog, and in way better condition. Also we went to a train museum, and explored the Marketplace. Check these pics out!

I love this, I dunno why, I just do...
I was enjoying myself. really.
Thats all of York. But wait, theres more! My dad and one of his friends at work arranged for his friends son and I to go on a little trip today. My new friend Tim is 20, from Texas, and we got along well. We like the same music, humor, etc. Yay for meeting new people. We took at train at 10 in the morning to see Knaresborough, another little town like 8 minutes away. We took a guided tour of the ruins of a castle, another old church (not quite as old as the other two), ate lunch, and just walked around before taking the train back. We got home around 3.
