sunny day!

i have finally found time to add some captions to these photos, so read back through and it will all start to make a little more sense :)

the first picture doesn't really have any significance...
this is walmgate bar, one of the entrances to the walled city of york. calvary chapel actually owns [or maybe leases] this space and it currently houses their coffee shop and a study room upstairs. i actually think i already mentioned that before, but heres some more pictures of it:
the door to the coffee shop. makes you feel like you are going to hang out with king arthur or something:
here is the interior of the coffee shop, the wood latticed structure along the back wall is acually the gate that used to raise and lower to close the entrance through the barbican:
a nice warm double macchiato, they have really good coffee here:
the view of our flats from the wall of the city. the flats are located just outside the wall. the entrance to my flat [#10] is the red door right in the center of the photo [just to the right of the little silver car]:
and here's that door up close:
and here's me on my way to the grocery store trying to stay warm:

welcome to england

note: click on images for [very] high resolution images which you can save to your computer if you want.

the train from manchester airport to york, cost about £26 and took a little under two hours:
some sights i saw along the way:now i'm official. i just need to figure out what value all the coins are. i also realized very quick that you collect ALOT of coins in england very quickly, i think i am going to need to carry around a little bag to keep all the coins in because my pockets are filling too fast.


ate a sandwich for lunch, very cheap and very filled with mayo.


this is walmgate bar, one of the entrances to the walled city of york. the little white building houses a coffee shop on the bottom [which is run by the bible college] and a small library upstairs.time for me to take a nap, i will update more later. goodnight.

contacting me

i will no longer have a cell phone starting january 29/30ish so please contact me via email or instant messaging.

email: sethgoodnight[at]gmail[dot]com

AIM: sethgrom

skype: [i still need to figure this one out...]

i also should have a land phone line to make and receive calls, just not sure how that will work yet.

FYI, York is 10 hours ahead of hawaiian standard time, so if you don't get in touch with me before noon, i will probably be sleeping. :)

3 days and counting...

i've got myself a plane ticket, a passport, new shoes, and a winter coat. i think i'm just about ready to head out!! the final purchase i want to make is one of these:
they are on sale at topman.com, so hopefully they still exist by the time i get to england. i think all the winter clothing will be out of season by the time i get there and i will just have to freeze.

thanks to american apparel for hooking me up with one of these :)

welcome

welcome to my new blog.
