another day in York

Today we went to Yorkminster (ginormous cathedral), Clifford's Tower (involved a lot of steps), and Jorvik, which was a crazy Viking "ride" that had scenes from a Viking village excavated on the site, and a special Viking smell THROUGH THE WHOLE RIDE. No, not kidding, they actually put a disgusting "authentic" scent in the ride area. What is that about?

I've got a lot to do tonight, by which I mean I need to take a shower and pack, so this is short. Tomorrow we go to Cambridge and spend the night in the dorms there, where according to Doug Cummins (professor) we will have private rooms, but we'll have to see about that.

Cheers from the girl who now has a Viking-scented scarf...

wow, i can't wait to find out about the viking smell...not really, lol. i had a friend in tassie who begged me several times to tell her what a skunk smells like...people are weird. but really, are you sure it wasn't just the smell of unwashed brits manning the ride?
