York: Day 1

Just your typical 'Tank Crossing' sign

Our airbnb home in York. It was wonderfully unique! Took this picture from the ancient wall that circles the city.

York Minster

Crossing the Ouse River

Inside York Minster. These stained glass windows, called the Fiver Sisters, was influenced by the Cistertian Monks.

The Quire's organ

The Quire

The doomstone. It's 'Hell's canyon', where demons and devils are pushing lost souls into a boiling cauldron of Hell.

A tent was set up on the Museum Garden with a variety of owls and hawks that you could pay to hold

The Abbey of St. Mary Ruins in Museum Garden

Our too knowledgeable tour guide, David. 

Gargoyles on York Minster's exterior

I swear I did not carve these initials into the ancient York wall. But someone was kind enough to remind the world that Stu and I are together.

A portcullis at the bar (the old word for gate)

The Shambles

Clifford's Tower. Mom told me that 1500 Jews murder/suicided each other instead of denying their beliefs to the attacking Christians. This happened in the 11th century.
