Back home...well, sortof

I've spent most of Sunday sick and tired. We got home from York yesterday afternoon and I spent the rest of the day drawing for my class. I caught some sort of cold while staying in Edinburgh at the Hostel. Thats what happens when you live with close to 60 people. As I said in a previous post, Edinburgh is a great city, different from London. It is much more medieval with a darker feel. There are ghost tours, and massive castles to visit. We spent the day and a half walking the streets and going through the historical sites. York was a bit different. We didn't know of too much to do before we got there so we spent the first day walking the streets, trying to figure out what to do. The city was the birthplace of Nestle so the streets smell like chocolate. The next day we took a walking tour of the ancient Roman and Medieval walls which haven't seen too much change. There is an area of the city called the shambles which used to be the main meat market area of Medieval York. As you can see, the houses look like they are about to fall over. They would hang the meat on hooks outside of the door and throw the waste in the middle of the street. It was such a disgusting place that the saying developed that if something was a mess, it was in shambles.
Today was just a typical day waiting for church to start, going at 2:00 pm and hurrying back home for dinner. The picture is of a beautiful London sunset from my window. I'm a little tired and hoping to get some sleep and feel better. So until the next post.
