Perhaps I could have used a better word than spectacular. I was meaning it was a good view of the city where you could see all the landmarks. Definitely not a beautiful view! I could very easily live with the view that you have from your back deck ;-) Unfortunately the weather over here hasn't been very favourable this summer, so I have spent more time looking at my garden from the inside rather than being out in it.

Lovely old buildings and not so lovely new ones. I am not too sure about the gushing praise of the view from the high glass tower though. 'Spectacular'? Hmmmm. Your back garden is far better. If it is 'spectacular' you want, the view from my back deck (tiny tho' it is - the deck, not the view) IS spectacular. Literally a $Million one. :) A good time was had by all in the teeming metropolis, the sinful city. Lovely old buildings and not so lovely new ones.

The end to the day was a bit frustrating, mostly because nobody seemed to know what was going on. At least we get to claim the money for the journey back making it a cheap day out ;-) I would like to go inside the library it looks fabulous from the outside even though it is slightly obscured by that modern building.

Yes that square would have been nice to sit it on another day. They are know for their kind hospitality up North, they still feed people up these days.

Breakdowns and incidents can't be helped, but it's irritating when the solution doesn't work smoothly, and I wonder whether your driver should have been on the road at all. Still, aside from that, it seems you had fun. You've reminded me I need to revisit my old post about John Ryland's Library. How could you resist a book by Antonia Fraser??!!
