York and Cambridge
After London we picked up a care and drove up to York - visiting Cambridge on the way up.
Whoohoo!!! Driving on the wrong side of the road, sitting on the wrong side of the car, and shifting with the left hand. What an adventure!!! (Especially around the many round-abouts or going down VERY small coutry roads at at Break-Neck speeds almost jousting with the upcoming cars using the rear view mirrors as swords.
Cambridge Cambridge is an interesting city. The university is made up of many colleges (Trinity, Christ's Church, and etc.) The students live in the college areas and can take classes at any of the colleges and graduate from Cambridge.
The Students live in these areas and have a central grassy area. 
Museum.
YorkYork is a walled city. It was inhabited by the Romans around 300 AD. The foundation of the current Minster was built on the old Roman foundation. When Henry the 8th pulled away from the Catholic Church he formed the Church of England. (He basically threw out the Catholic monks and nuns and trashed out the churches. Below is the left overs from that.
The old shops have VERY narrow streets. 
Typical Pub - good reasonable priced food. (We even had Yorkshire Pudding in York. Tasted a lot like Karen's home cooking.) 
Oldest pub in York. (Built in 1500's)
Wall around city.
York Minster - (Church of England 2nd most important location. 1st being Arch-Bishop of Canterbury - Arch-Bishop of York in #2.)
Looking off top of York Minister - after something like 250+ steps.
