BATH
Last Friday our daytrip was to Bath, the site of the ancient Roman baths. We had good weather, and we able to enjoy both the Roman baths and the town of Bath and all it had to offer. Below are some of the sites inside the baths.
We had a self-guided tour where we each got a headset. Some of the commentary was done by Bill Bryson, author of many great and funny travel books. So, one could spend as much time as one wanted inside the baths.

and it got worse because this went on more than once!!!THE TOWN OF BATH
This bridge, like the one in Florence, Italy has stores on it.
A view from the bridge.....
This is one of many lions that have been decorated that are seen throughout the city of Bath. It is like the Blue Heron project that took place in Winona several years ago. Below are some close-up photos of this particular lion. I loved the use of watches and watch gears.
Need I say more?
The Theatre Royal has had a facelift!
We were in Bath when they were filming a Bollywood video and the students were invited to take part in it. Jarod should have danced with them but didn't!!!
