Beautiful Bath

Today was spent in the beautiful city of Bath, named for the only thermal springs in the UK. A short walk this morning took us from our hotel to Queen' Square where we met our local guide Cheryl. Our 2 hour our of the city took us to e Gravel Path that features in Jane Austen's writiings, Royal Crescent, the Circus, the Assembly Rooms where the grandest balls of the 18 th Century took place, Poultney Bridge, & finally the Roman Baths. Along the way Cheryl entertained & educated us with colorful stories of Bath's history. Next we toured the Roman Baths, using audioguides to go at our own pace as we learned how Bath was important for both recreational & religious reasons. The afternoon was free for everyone to explore the city at leisure, whether visiting museums, walking by the canal, relaxing, or shopping for the latest British fashions, Later we all met up for another wonderful 3 course dinner, this time at Tilley's Tearooms.
