Bath, England

 Bridge in Bath this is view from the bridge that we walked over when going from our hotel to the city. The road name is North Parade Road. |
 More of the same bridge just wider angle. Gary thought it was very cool, so we have about 6 pics of this (and he does not have to pay to develop film). |
 The Roman Baths is what the city is named after. This is one of the many heated baths here. It used to be enclosed by a giant roof. It was discovered earlier this century when they were digging a sewer. The water is now green due to algea, but it used to be clear. The baths were lined with lead by the Romans to transfer heat and to form a seal. Not very healthy by today's standards. |
 This is the water overflow from some of the baths. It comes from an underground source that is always hot. The Romans and English alike considered this a holy area. The Romans built temples here. |
 This is the cathedral across from the Baths. |
 Here is a view of Bath from the road leading back to Brighton. |
 This is the hotel that we stayed in on the 15th when we got into Bath. It is called Toad Hall Bed and Breakfast. Notice the in room shower. |
 The room was quite comfortable - we were lucky to get a room due to a cancellation. Most places were booked up or very expensive. The morning of the 16th we got a full english breakfast - fried egg on toast, toast, fried ham and tomatoes and tea. |
