Bath!

Hello again, blog readers! We both apologize for our complete lack of consistency and forgetfulness. For the rest of our journey, we promise to be more consistent to keep you updated. Ok, moving on now. BATH! We went to Bath on the weekend of the 22nd in April--our first train trip outside of London. Coincidentally, the 22nd is National Heritage Day for Bath and so there were ancient Roman battle re-enactments, stone carving demonstrations, and various other activities going on in the city. Aside from dodging the rain while checking out the different heritage events, Jesse and I toured the Roman Baths, ancient hot springs that have been in use since before the time of the Celts of the 8th century BC; visited the Jane Austen Center, not the exact site of where Jane Austen lived, but just down the street from the original residence; saw where Jane Austen's father is buried; crossed the land-mark Pulteney Bridge; and walked all over the town, enjoying out time outside of the busy city of London.
