| Lincoln Cathedral |
We were looking forward to getting to see Lincoln Cathedral, but we arrived in Lincoln too late for visiting hours. We did enjoy a walk around this immense structure and examined all of the amazing architecture as you can see in the photos. A few cool things that we saw in the area were the ruins of the Roman East Gate to the city, the amazing flying buttresses of the Chapter House and Cathedral, and also the fact that you could walk through a gate of a city wall to go from the Cathedral to Lincoln Castle. Since it was evening and nothing was open for tourists, we decided to find a local pub and have a bite to eat. We were fortunate to find a little pub on the walk between the Cathedral and Castle. Coincidently, on this July 4th we were half-way across the world at a pub called the Magna Carta!

After going inside we learned that they had stopped serving food for the day. We decided to order something to drink and we sat outside to enjoy the sights and sounds of the city. While sitting outside we met a very nice couple—one was a chef at the pub and the other was a college student. They were a great source of information about the city and the Cathedral. After our visit with the couple, we’d definitely like to get back to Lincoln during daytime hours!
