Day Sixty-Seven:: Hadrian's Wall/Durham Cathedral/York Minster

I am still on the same bus.  I think I am going mad.

Hadrian's Wall though.  It is something that I did not know existed and I only knew about Hadrian because of art history (there are hundreds of things that I only know about because of art history though so that is not so shocking).  When we arrived and it was freezing and the visibility sucked (just saying that made me miss skiing, I am a mess), I was highly tempted to hide on the bus and not make the half a mile climb to the ruins.  But I was happy I went because when do you get a chance to walk on a wall that is nearly two thousand years old and contains such rich history! It was pretty.

WALKING ON THE WALL

For some reason, I get excited about the opposite things than the rest of the group.  So as everyone was taking millions of pictures of them and their friends at Hadrian's wall I was not.  Then when we went to Durham Cathedral I was the excited one because it was the first entirely Romanesque cathedral that we were seeing! I love Romanesque architecture, thus making happy Kelsie.  Unfortunately, I was only allowed to take pictures on the outside (why do people hate me?)

Sometimes, you just need to visit two cathedrals in one day.  Today was one of those days for me, so luckily our next stop was York Minster, where we sat through Evensong.

I had dinner at McDonald's aka heaven.  I love chicken strips and they have chicken selects there and seriously it was the best part of my day.
