A River Runs Through All Of Them

Alcohol of the Day: Strongbow

York - our last stop before London.  It occurred to me that this leg of the trip has turned into the William Wallace tour of the UK.  I've been to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, and now York.  Well, okay maybe the York thing wasn't historically accurate, but it was a memorable part of the movie.

As we walked around York this afternoon, I realized that there was a river running through all of the cities we've been to: the Liffey in Dublin, the Lagen in Belfast, the Clyde in Glasgow, and now the Ouse in York.  And, of course, the Thames later on.  They all have a really brown tinge to them, but we did see a seal pop its head out of the water in Belfast, so they're not totally devoid of life.  And strangely there weren't a lot of boats in the water, other than the Clyde and the Ouse.

Anyway, you be the judge:

Liffey

Lagen

Clyde

Ouse
