England Highlights: Bath

I spent my last day in England in the city of Bath. 

We toured the Christmas Market, and it was so crowded 

you could hardly see what was in each booth. 

 Bath Abbey with pigeons. 

 My dad and I toured the Roman Baths, the ruins of which 

were uncovered in the 1800's. Besides the fact that the Great Bath 

was beautiful and it was interesting geologically, I most 

enjoyed the artifacts that told the story of how the Romans lived. 

The curse tablets people wrote and threw into the baths 

asked the gods to make petty thieves "pay with blood". It was very dramatic. 

I also learned that the Romans used a LOT of lead. Everywhere.  

They also had an audio guide by Bill Bryson, one of my favorite authors. 

I enjoyed listening to his take on things.
