It makes for some neat architectural effects.
Manchester's probably only a mile wide; we took a train into Manchester Piccadilly and walked almost the entire town today. The weather was a bit windy, but absolutely gorgeous. The sun was out and at times it was, dare I say it, hot.
I think we saw just about everything Manchester has to offer. Think I'm kidding? Here's a list.
Chinatown, Chinese Arch
Albert Square
Town Hall
Central Library
Manchester Art Gallery
John Rylands Library (under renovation)
Piccadilly Gardens
People's History Museum
Great Northern Square (or Great Northern Abyss, with theatre)
University of Manchester campus
We also stopped into several tea and coffee shops, a Mark's and Spencer's (the grocery one), and a sporting goods store. And apparently there are no pubs in Manchester (as opposed to London) that serve meals, so I'll have to wait until London, part deux to get the bona fide fish and chips and cask-conditioned ale experience.
And of course, there are more pics on my flickr site, for your viewing pleasure.
