John Knox's grave is sad, the Scottish Parliament is amazing, Durham Cathedral, York minister, and a few more things:

To start this big picture update, we have the sad, unmarked grave of John Knox, Presbyterian reformer, and church father of some note, who St. Giles Presbyterian Church in Edinburgh has thought fit to have a grave marked with a yellow square of concrete about the size of a child's notebook. I am not kidding. Sad really.

The beautiful, bizarre and exorbitant Scottish Parliament Building.

The entrance area:

The outside office windows:

The stunning (and controversial) exterior

A beautiful internal stairway:

The Debate Chamber:

The much less impressive (and much older) Holyrood House of Edinburgh.

Durham Cathedral: (no internal pictures allowed here, just the exterior.)

Moving on to the glorious York Minster...

A statue of Constantine the Great, at York Minster:

The great city wall of York:

Clifford's tower in York.

And, just for fun, myself and Laura-Ann at the Jorvic Center looking as frightening as we were bored.

And that almost catches me up on pictures. Hopefully, technology will allow future updates to have the pictures and the text together, as it normally works. We depart for Stratford at 10 tomorrow. Shakespeare, here we come!
