National Railway Museum, York
Posted by KaySquirrel on July 26th, 2008
Today we spent a few hours at the National Railway Museum, the largest railway museum in the world.
I don’t really know much about trains, but I think they’re cool to look at — especially this one!

After that, we walked along the Roman Walls:
Spotted some Apostrophe Abuse:
That’s Ploes’ shoulder you see on the right there. I asked him to pretend to pose for a pic so the people at the ice cream stand wouldn’t notice that I was taking a photo of their sign because I planned on making fun of it on the intertubes when I got back home.
I even submit it to Apostrophe Abuse (a fantastically cringe-worthy website I check on an almost-daily basis!), and they published it! 
After that, we had a lovely dinner at Toto’s Restaurant Pizzeria. (The website is hard to read, but their food is fantastic!) I had the Penne ai Broccoli and would have it again every day for a week if I could.
Later on in the evening, we went on The Ghost Hunt of York walking tour. As soon as our guide appeared, making his way to the bottom of Shambles with slow, measured steps, I knew we were in for a treat. Hilariously morbid and bitingly sarcastic, our guide was either the creepiest man I have ever met, or very, very good at his job.
