Leeds and York

I was in Leeds with Britt for two days, the first of which was spent showing me Leeds, and the second of which was spent in York. In Leeds, I got to see the University, which included a cute little cemetery, downtown with all the shops, and the Royal Armory Museum (which was quite funny).

That night we went out for Mexican food (!) with one of her friends from the program, and afterwards just the two of us went to a really neat club called Oceana where we spent most of the night sidestepping weird guys. Dancing with Brittany was SO much fun! There were a couple of middle-aged men there who were really getting their groove on on the dance floor. It was intense. Also there was this guy who could not have been any drunker and still standing who tried to dance with me. To get him to leave me alone I finally just pushed his face away with my hand, hehe. Later Brittany and I saw him conversing with his bicep. Good times.

The next morning, when we woke up, it was snowing!!! The bus ride to York was so much more beautiful for it, too. We spent most of the time in York Minster, looking inside the church and also climbing the cramped tower.

After the Minster, we walked around town a bit, and on our way to a French restaurant for amazing soup, bread, and chicken, we happened upon a fudge shop where this crazy employee was beckoning us to enter for a free sample. He was so hyper and giddy he must have been drunk, which he even confessed to. He said that since we're Americans, we're better than most! Hehe...I'm sure you could guess, but he's the one in the middle:

And that was that! That evening Brittany and I had popcorn and Ben and Jerry's for dinner while watching a movie...it was just like we were back at UCSD!
