Fountains Abbey

hmmm... well that was an interesting night. enough with this joke of a hostel, on to the next place... Fountains Abbey. we piled on the bus, and began out 2 hour ride to this location.. aka. nap time!

over all cool place, huge though... over 500 acres. alot of history here but it would have been alot more enjoyable if it was warmer, less muddy and there was some green grass... so i guess im getting at may or june weather? the pictures in the brochure look sick, but like i said, its not a gorgeous spring day. even though i must say the highlight of this trip was the immature comments made about monks. sorry... sooo wrong. my baba (grandma for those who dont know) would be very upset to hear that, but we were just making the best of a lame situation! =)

after this lovely outting.. we went on to our next destination. couldn't tell you what it was though because it was closed... oh well. i was pooped. we went into this small town and got dinner..

traditional york sunday roast = yorkshire pudding!

my favorite! my father would kill for this meal =)

lets just say this dinner, made the creepy hostel worth while!!! 

ok thats enough of the tourist weekend. sunday we returned at about 9 pm and i was absolutely exhausted. all i wanted to do was go to bed but couldn't because it was erin's 21st birthday at midnight and i had surprised planned! ....

stayed tuned for the next blog! 

<3 still full from the greatest dinner ever.
