b&b with all the horse betters in town for the races. We have a hard
time understanding because of their thick accents.
We then left for a free 2 hour history walking tour of York. We are
getting to be quite the experts on English history.
The picture is a small lane called the Shambles, an old mideval street.
After a pub lunch, we decided to split up. Meg spent the afternoon
souvenir shopping, while I went to the horse races. The races were
strange because most people has suits or fancy dresses. The track was
huge (almost 2 miles) and the horses ran on grass. But the betting was
pretty similiar and I was able to pick 2 winners and come out ahead.
Meg and I met for dinner in town. We hopped around and had drinks and
appetizers at a couple of places before we ended up a mixed drinks
bar. We started talking to a local and before we knew it the table was
full of people who all wanted to talk to Americans. We had a great
time, and made new friends. I seem to remember inviting many people to
come visit us in Seattle :-)
This morning we are visiting the Castle Museum in York before heading
out, driving south to visit a friend.
