York, Oxford and Bath. Not bad....... We are very fortunate in the UK to have so many wonderful places of history and interest on such a small island. I was married to an American lady and lived in Dallas (also Irving and Frisco) from 1995 thru 2006. I think y'all are doing a great job. I find your vlogs very interesting. Less is often more when it comes to filming and your short clips are ideal. Of course I'm very biased, but my number one plus for the UK is that you can go from beautiful beaches, gorgeous countryside to fantastic historical buildings, quaint villages and modern cities in such a short period of time. I remember my first "trip" from Dallas was to Austin and that was around 5 hours drive iirc. In 5 hours in the UK you can see so much..... Happy you are enjoying your time over here and btw I've been a huge Cowboys fan from a very young age. That was the main reason I chose Dallas over San Francisco back in 1995 when I had a choice of where to work when moving from the UK.

Don't miss all the Victorian shopping arcades in Leeds too, off Briggate. When in York you have to try Betty's tea rooms, there is a big queue for a reason. Nice walks along the walls & the river.
