Manchester

It's been a while since I've posted, but it's finals time--which means it's procrastination time! Here are some more pictures for you to enjoy. I have lots backlogged, so here are those from Spring Break when I went to Manchester. I've heard some people call it the Detroit of England, and it does have an industrial feel about it. I journeyed by myself, taking a 4-hour bus ride to the far north and staying in the Hatter's Hostel, where I met loads of awesome people.This is a government building in the city center.

Don't you love churches in the EU? This one has some pretty sweet gargoyles.
This is right off of Manchester's Picadilly. A busy place, but you can see the type of brick and style that characterize most of Manchester's architecture.

This one's right next to that last building. Cool, huh?


Manchester's library! I really should be writing papers now...

This was just a cool building, a hotel I think. You can see at the bottom the flags of England (St. George's flag--the white and red one) and Great Britain's (the Union Jack--a combination of Scotland's flag and England's).
