Day 2-3

Mom, you think it's weird that \i don't use the top sheet, but that's normal in Europe :) We all learned what duvets and duvet covers were when we made our beds the other night.

Yesterday, we spent time at Fountains ABbey and \leah was our tour guide. We wished we could have been there longer, but we got great photos!

We expereienced our first pub meal, then went to a museum that described medieval life of the townspeopel in \yorkk, they even tried to reproduce the smell of the time.

Later, we climbed Clifford's Tower, which sits on a hill in the city. There was an amazing view!

Last night, some of us made spaghetti at the hostel, which has a well-furbished kitchen and we have left-overs to fee dus tonight.

This morning, we toured York Minster, an amazing cathedral in the middle of the city. Us students climbed the 275 steps to the top of its tower (which was actually meant to be 2-3 times taller wehn it was first planned). We were proud we made it to the top, but there was an elderly lady at the top as well so we figured she should be alot more proud than we are. Tonight we are going to a service at the cathedral and I think most of us are planning to go on a walking Ghost Hunt tour through the city.

Tomorrow, off to Riveaux Abbey for the day!

Hoping we're actually losing weight from so much walking,#

p.s. The sun is shining today, about 60 degreed F. We're all grateful for no umbrellas. It's much easier to hold my camera without one.
