Chester #2

I had to wear a hat during Christmas dinner. I still don't entirely understand why.

Anyway, Christmas was lovely. Then on Boxing Day (a holiday we may have to implement in the US) we went for a walk. It was pretty and involved dogs and helped us work off some of the Christmas meal.

Then the next day we went up to Manchester. It was cold and rainy and crowded. However, it was a fantastic day anyway. We began at Manchester Cathedral.




and then...

we found Santamon, distantly related to Pikachu,
sitting atop the Town Hall entrance

We eventually made our damp way to the Museum of Science and Industry, which turned into the highlight of the day. We spent about half of our time in the hands-on Xploration exhibit which was basically a bunch of shiny things and buttons. It was pretty much fantastic.

And then...

And then we went to the Doctor Who Exhibit. I don't think this day could have been any better. Doctor Who deserves its own post, which will be forthcoming soon.

Okay, the top pic is gorgeous, but I nearly spewed spit on my keyboard with your Santamon pic and caption. :)
