York night life for old people!

What a great ending to a fun day in York. We didn’t get to do any tours in York as we didn’t get into town today in time. Almost all the tours of the historical buildings close by 5 or 6 at the latest. We will have to hit those early tomorrow before we head out to Castle Howard and then over to Keswick in the Lake District. So, we decided to end the day on a ghost bus tour of York. It was a little campy, but a lot of fun and somewhat informative. Of course the most exciting part of the tour was probably when it tried to leave without me! Channeling my “little” Black bladder, I took off for the nearby train station Wash Closet. Denise and Taylor headed for the ladies as we only had 5 minutes before the bus left. Well, wouldn’t you know that the men’s room was closed, like boarded up closed! As I squirmed my way back to the bus, I realized my water proof pants were going to fill up like a balloon if I got on that bus without hitting the head. So, figuring the train station had to have an open men’s room, I went on a search. As I finally found one across all the tracks on the other side of the station, I turned on my phone figuring I’d be sending the girls on without me and I’d just see them back at the hotel. I should have known better! My lovely wife, threatening the guide, had secured me an extra 5 minutes and as I passed by the old closed bathrooms, there was my wife running and yelling, run, run! I almost became my own ghost tonight, but was saved as I so often am by my loving lady! The other time she saved me on this trip was when she paid the dinner bill - glad I don’t have to see those things! Thank you sweetie!Read more
