Last weekend Sean's sister and parents arrived for their visit. One of the things we did with them on their first weekend here was take them to York. We hadn't really seen most of the city yet, and it was a beautiful day to walk around and see the old world town. York is a city that dates back to 71 A.D. when it was founded by the Romans, but also has a rich Viking and Norman history.
The streets in York are called Gates. The picture above shows one of the funny named streets in York Whip Ma Whop Ma Gate. York has a very large walking district which is fabulous for shopping. We really enjoyed walking around town and checking out all the shops.
We stopped at Betty's, a famous tea house where we enjoyed a traditional afternoon tea.
Then we went over to the York Minster to relax in the yard outside and then attend an Evensong service.
