We spent a rather care-free (though I suppose this whole trip is care-free, really…) day in Bath today. It’s a small city, packed in tight with beautiful Georgian-age buildings, and of course, several baths – including a Roman bath dating from around 70 AD. As if we hadn’t gotten in enough walking the past two days, we took two walking tours – a free city-run tour, heavy on Georgian-age history, but very well led by a volunteer named Jack; and a ‘tour’ in the evening put on by a company called Bizarre Bath, which is really more of a walking stage/comedy/magic show, which was a ton of fun and a great way to end the day. Tomorrow we pick up our rental car and see how well I fare driving in Britain…
Wow – what a lovely place! I wonder why the Romans selected this location for their baths? Mineral waters? Driving north today? Have a good drive!

Awesome!! Another city from Jane Austen’s Novels!! Love it…God Bless you two!!
We were in Bath in ’77, before children. I don’t think it has changed! Thanks so much to you and Josh and your parents for letting us share in this wonderful journey. Love, Barb
