More York

Great little town this York.

Ok I've given this quite a bit of thought.  A design such as this poses a few problems.  First you need to ask yourself if you want to be the first one sitting or the last.  Being first would be good because you could get your stuff done and get out of there and leave the other guy with the goods (and the smell).  BUT if you were sitting first you'd have to watch the second drop his pants, bend over, and take a seat...Not pretty.  Six and one half dozen of the other I guess.

$1 million to anyone who can guess what this is. (Hint: it comes from the same exhibit as the double toilet)  Ok, I'll tell you, when the first toilets were invented, people didn't know how to use them.  Sooooo, they embossed a fly on the back wall of the urinal so guys would have something to aim at and not get spla....  well you get the idea.  Judging from the state that some of the toilets I've used are in, I vote to bring the fly back.  (By the way, these two photos come from a "how to clean" exhibit in York.  Trust me, the Plagues are still on everyones mind here.

Don't know if this photo will come out but the York abbey has one of the largest stained glass walls in all of Europe.  Each frame tells part of the story of the Bible and since most of the folks couldn't read, this is how the church got the message across.  It works, especially when there in an angelic choir singing in the background and the church is the only place in town with heat.

Dudes are good.  These guys played down the street from my B&B.  At first I was kind of watching them and mostly just looking for a place to sit and get off my feet.  But these dudes knew what they were doing. I mean they were lawn bowling this egg shaped ball over 100 feet to within a few inches of the target.  They could make that ball curve like one of my bad golf shots.  I thought the Growlers could take them initially, but now I have my doubts.

Look mom, I'm eating my veggies! -Well actually it's because I the previous two nights I ate sausages, beer, beans, beer, potatoes, beer, fried fish, beer, chips and even a beer.  By the way, this is all you need in England, pub grub, beer, water and Rick Steve's Best of Europe.
