Getting to Know the City

The following is a collection of pictures from the first couple days of wandering around. It's been a blast exploring, and the friendliness of Northern England is a refreshing change from London.  One thing that always catches me off guard: when a customer service agent sees you are looking for something, instead of saying "Can I help you?", they ask "Are you alright?"  For some reason it gives me the impression that I don't look like I'm alright and I wonder if I've been walking funny or if I look ill.  My habit is to respond with something like "Yes, I feel fine," which often is returned with a confused look as they wonder why I'm explaining how I feel.
