More Pictures, and a Mobile...

Hello and welcome to the third weekly weekend post! There are several topics to mention...

First, Melissa thought you might be interested in the interior of our humble abode. If you're interested in our bathroom and living space, here they are...





Next up, we went yesterday to a place called "Nunnington Hall," which is just an old estate. There are hundreds of historical sites like this all over the place, and with a £17.50 membership, you can see them all for free. Anyway, some pictures of the outside... as always, you can double-click for a larger image.





A family tree...when it says "No cameras," it really means "No flash," right? The lack of pictures from the inside can be attributed to Melissa's incessant repetition, "You're gonna get in trouble!"



In these old buildings, "square" isn't a term with much meaning...












Some pictures of the outside, which was beautiful.





And some trees I really liked.





The obligatory group photo, and a sneak shot of Melissa. In the group shot, the older couple is Melissa's Aunt Helen and Uncle Dennis, who took us out. The other person is their son and Melissa's cousin, Mark. Mark lives in Leeds, about 30 minutes from York, but Dennis and Helen live in Leamington Spa, which is roughly 3 hours south, so it's nice when they visit. We invited ourselves over for Christmas!




We discovered a museum in York, but we didn't have time to visit it yesterday. There's an interesting half-head outside, which could just as easily be an ancient ruin as a postmodern sculpture if you didn't know.








Finally, a strange sight in the city. I wasn't dropping acid, really. It's on film.





We have a mobile phone now, so if you have an urge to call us in the UK, go for it! To dial from the US, it's:

Thanks to everyone for wishing me a happy birthday. And, as always, thanks for reading. Until next time...
