York 23-8-10

We arrived in York yesterday and strolled through the city and a beautiful walk along the river near our B&B. We open the front gate and we are on the River Walk!! There are Narrow boats on the Ouse River and they are so picturesque---a glimpse of the old way of life on the river. people used to live on these boats and raise their families as they travelled through the lochs.

People enjoying the sun in park in York.

It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday in York but today it has been raining hard so most photos will be from yesterday!!

 Tudor building York

This is a charming city with many beautiful Tudor buildings and lovely flowers in pots everywhere. We visited The Art Gallery in York and saw a very good Exhibition on China called "Journey to the East"---great for a rainy day!

We love the ancient city wall around the city. Many of the old city gates are still standing! A beautiful old city!!
