There we go! I sketched out the route we took; out to Leicester, up to York, out to Preston to see the temple, then through Manchester and down through the Peak District on our way home. So now you know where everything is, Let's look at pictures of York and Preston! Yay!
Anyways, back to where I was, we left Leicester after lunch, and drove pretty much straight up to York. We got checked into our little hotel (Holiday Inn again cos dad's work), and went out to see what was what. We went to the York Castle (a lot smaller than I expected, honestly) saw a couple small churches, and then the big mama cathedral. And we also wandered around trying to decide where to have dinner before we found the restaurant we ended up eating at cos Brig needed to have some Fish & Chips before heading home.
And now for some pictures
Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the Restaurant where we ate, but it was super cute. And I don't even remember what it was called! So you'll just have to believe me when I say it was cute.
I thought one picture of sheep would suffice instead of the many we took on our drive through the Peak District. So you're welcome for not filling the whole thing with nothing but sheep. Like I wanted to do originally. Did you like Brig's re-creation of the "God giving life to Adam" painting with the statue of Constantine? I wanted to shake his hand, but I couldn't reach. It was too high.
The Preston Temple didn't have a Visitor's Center, though that's where the Missionary Training Center is, so that's cool. It's a beautiful area, so many trees, so green; that's what I love about this country. Everything is so green. I love it.
