York, Hadrian's Wall, and Newcastle

The National Railway museum in York. This place had the most interesting exhibit on the Indian Railways.



York was very pretty. That cathedral thing in the back is Yorkminster.
The street that this building is on is made up of all buildings from the 16th century.

Epic.


The climb to the top of this tower was difficult, as you can see. In this tower hundreds of Jews in the 11th century so that they would not be killed by the Christians persecuting them.

I guess geese always get the right-of-way in York. They waited for the light, but it changed to fast.

This is Hadrian's Wall, the Roman Emperor started constructing it in the 2nd century to secure Great Britain against attacks from what we now call the Scottish to the North. It was kind of a boarder between England and Scotland.










I have never seen the old classic Robin Hood movie, but this is the very famous Cyprus tree that was in the movie.






I am standing in the middle of one of the Roman forts that they had on the Wall. I am standing right outside of what used to be the soldiers barracks.



I guess this is what I look like while watching music videos (they were pretty terrible)...

This is the New Castle that they city of Newcastle got it's name from.
