I'm sad that we only spent a day in York, but our stay stay will be for two weeks, so we will have time to explore London. Today we had class (our class hours are very strange) and then spent most of our afternoon wandering around York Minster Cathedral. Since it's a traditional Christian pilgrimage site, we did the whole shebang and attended the evening prayers (again a traditional Anglican service). The remains of a canonized archbishop resides there, so that's why it's a pilgrimage site.
Most of us are reading and writing papers tonight (our due dates are strange. Lax, but strange...) before we head out to London tomorrow. It's a long drive, but we will be rewarded with a night performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream in an outside amphitheater in London. This particular production has been described as "Shakespeare meets My Big Fat Greek Wedding." How interesting.
