York!

I spend a very nice weekend in York.  My research revolves around a 14th century population from the Fishergate area so I was super excited to visit.  Fishergate is still there!  Plus, I got to stay almost on top of where the cemetery was excavated!!  I'm a physical anthropologist this is the closest I get to experience what the individuals I study experience.

Blue Bridge Hotel!

On Blue Bridge lane

where there is a blue bridge

lovely river walk

This is the river Foss

This is the rive Ouse

Ducks!

They are both nice rivers

York still has its walls!  Awesome!

Flooding . . . a real health problem?

Clifford's Tower

Use the stairs!

 If your in York.  I would recommend the shopping, which is great.  Also, the Jorvick Museum (Vikings!) was great.  I had a viking day and saw Thor after the museum . . . you probably wont be able to have that awesome of a day.  You can try though.
