********** CHEERS TO TOUR GUIDES!************

As I was planning this trip I logged onto the Bath web site and found a tour guide Paul Elliott and have been communicating with him. He gave us good directions to get into Bath and then we met hin in the lobby at 9:30 this morning and he guided us around Bath until 2pm.
Our tour, only L'll Sis and me until we met up with a bus group from the north of England and then Paul took us around the city when the bus tour was over. He showed us every little nook and cranny, the ins and outs of this very, very old city.
All the old Roman stuff and "what did the Romans ever do for us"?
Bath is truly a fascinating city. I didn't know that it is as big as it is...population 90,000.

We staggered back to the Holiday Inn and studied our map getting ready for tomorrows adventurer to Stratford-Upon-Avon.

I can now check off on my "Bucket List" another place I always wanted to visit.

Dear Cousins, Phill and Mike get that washer and dryer revved up cause our clothes really need a good wash!

Till next time...

Who in this world has not been touched by the words of Shakespeare? Now you'll visit his home where all those words were inspired. What a wonderful adventure.
