Home via York

By Friday we just wanted to be out of the car and back at the flat, but we still had a 6 hour drive ahead of us. We stopped in York long enough for Dave and Chris to eat lunch and walk the medieval walls.

I skipped lunch to visit York Minster - inside and out. The timing was perfect. I arrived at 12:55, and a guided tour began at 13:00.

These are both views of the West Window. The equally impressive East Window is undergoing major restoration.

We made it home safe and sound, and even survived all the traffic on the M1 and the M25. It was nice having "Speed Buggy" for the week, but we decided that in general, we really don't miss the car. Tomorrow it's back to business as usual. Chris will bike to school, Dave will take the train into London, and I will walk around town. The big difference? Shelly arrives!
