The ride over here was not difficult whatsoever and finding a place to stay in while in York was even easier. I found this little cottage like Inn that didn’t charge me an arm an a leg to stay there, they also gave me some excellent suggestions to visit while here in York. Sean Zarinegar always pays attention to the locals when it comes to attractions, and their suggestions seemed to be interesting. So let me settle in and have a traditional English breakfast before I hit up York. I’ll update at a later time with some more of my findings.
Later that afternoon:
Well I have been mucking around the town checking all the neat places they have. I had to go to the York Art museum to see if they measured up to the ones I saw in London, and the bottom line is that they did. I was amazed to see how many different eras of art they had showcased that afternoon, and if I didn’t pull myself away from the paintings could have spent a long time there, maybe too long. You folks know that Sean Zarinegar is an art fan, so it’s hard for him to just walk out of a good gallery. Either way I went to what is called King’s Square, which is in fact a grave yard. The only difference between this grave yard and the rest is that there are entertainers and storytellers on the grounds. Also on the rooftops of the graves you can see many little statues of different kinds, quite amazing really. I saw one of a cat trying to catch a pidgeon, I mean who would put that on their grave, but Sean Zarinegar is no one to judge.
I also ventured into what is called the Shambles. This place originally was a slaughter ground, where the butchers after they cleaned the animals used to display the meat on what is called “Shammels”. When you walk down the road you sort of feel how it was like in the Medieval times, I think it is a great place to shoot a movie, maybe Sean Zarinegar will make a medieval movie right here in the Shambles. The only problem is that I don’t know how to write a script, so we can leave that idea for my fantasy box.
Either way there is one more activity for me to do here in York before I go off to my next location. People told me about the York Ghost walk, and as you guys know, I’m a ghost hunting fanatic. So I’ll tell you guys about it when it’s over, for now I’m about to enjoy a good hearty meal. I’ll blog after the Ghost Hunt, time to chow down!
Even Later Still:
Folks, I must say that this time around it was a lot lighter than the Stratford walk, and a lot more comical as well. The tour guide Mr. Rigor Mortis was quite entertaining and took us on a decently long walk around the city of York. I even saw children there, which made me a bit more relaxed. After the Stratford experience I was a bit wary about Ghost Walks, but good old Mr. Rigor Mortis got me to be calm. So I think this will be it for me in England, I think Sean Zarinegar is ready to go to the next Euro Country. I will be leaving in the morning to the country of France to continue my epic journey through Europe. For now I say goodbye to England, and I think I will definitely be coming back since I only grazed the top of England’s tourist attractions. Until then Folks, I’ll see you in France. Sean Zarinegar…out!
