Quick note before going out again!

We just can't help ourselves, we have to see it all!! And with York, that is a lot.
We started out with breakfast at our B&B with three groups of Americans - from east, west and central US and compared notes re what to see in York. Confirmed our list. Bill had a semi-full English breakfast - we have finally learned!
Then off to the Minster for a 10:00 tour. It was so information-packed that I decided to go twice! Between tours we went to Betty's - famous for pastries and had a "Yorkshire Fat Rascal" the best scone we've had. Next on our schedule was a tour of York but the sun was blazing and we decided the cool of the Minster was preferable to two hours outside. The second tour was completely different from the first - reinforced some details and added some others. I found it all fascinating and hope some of it sticks.
Now a tiny break (our B&B is close enough to stop by) then off to Evensong. For someone who is not religious, I spend a lot of time in churches! York Minster has a choir school associated with it and this will be the last service before they break for summer. So this will be special.
After that, feet willing, we'll do a city walking tour to give us a background for the rest of our time. My head will be buzzing by the end of the day.

This beautiful ceiling of the tower in the middle of the church is so high, the Tower of Pisa would easily fit under it. 

Over the centuries, repairs to medieval stained glass has been done by adding more lead. The question now is how much repair of the repairs to do!
