England Part 2

 So today we stayed pretty close to my Uncle's house today. We started off the day with a trip to the supermarket. Now that sounds pretty boring but its so different that every aisle we went down has something strange in it. I'm pretty sure we spent more than an hour there and we didn't even buy much. We put our groceries away and afterwards we headed out for some sightseeing.

The first place we went was Ripley Castle where we had ice cream. Supposedly its world famous but I didn't think it was all that amazing. It was good sure but I've had better. While we were eating our ice cream we went for a stroll to check out the area around the castle. Here's a couple pictures of the castle.

After that we went up to Ripon Cathedral. One of the things that was cool about it was that you could see where they changed their minds as to how to build it half way through.

The way to tell is that the front main arch is rounded while the back arch is pointed. On top of that on the front rounded arch the two columns are different heights.

Afterwards we went to check out Knaresborough where we also saw the ruins of another castle. Plus the city was very picturous in general so here's a couple pictures of that too.

This is a river that flows below the Knaresborough castle ruins.

I love the picture windows!

Doesn't everyone just need to stop in the middle of a set of train tracks and take a picture or two?

How does one go about redeeming time?

I found a thatched roof!

So that's about it for today. Nothing super exciting but here's to keeping you all updated!
