Worcester

This past Sunday, a friend and I visited Worcester. It's about half an hour by train from Birmingham. We visited the City Art Gallery and Museum, St George's Church, High Street, Royal Porcelain Works, Worcester Cathedral, and walked by the River Severn. It was nice to have someone who's been there show me around! The river walk was a bit bleak at this time of year, though. I hope to visit again sometime in the warmer months. I have to learn how to pronounce the name of the city first. It sounds not entirely like 'wooster' to rhyme with 'rooster,' more like the u sound in 'up.' Wast thou going to Worcester?
