Bath

I'm quite glad that I got out and did a bit more of the UK rather than only Luton and London. Bath was a rather charming city. And guess what was in Bath? That's right- baths!

Roman baths to be correct. They come ip natually from the ground, are good for you and have 41 different minerals. You can even drink it! And in my opinion, all 41 of them taste disgusting.



I could only take a few sips. Blech! But I feel much healthier now... ;P

Bath was also a home to the writer Jane Austin (Mr. Darcy! *swoon*). Two of her books were based in Bath.

I saw where she used to live and went into the Jane Austin center. It had some lovely information about her and her characters.












An English bonnet and parasol to match my London shirt, South African jeans, Egyptian shoes, and Malian handbag. I AM American!

I later took a walking tour and saw churches and monuments and parks and old things.







The best part for me was this:



This was above some of the door ways of homes. Back in the day, you put this on your house if you had fire insurance with a certain fire brigade. Because if your house was burning, the brigade would only put it out if you had insurance of the means to pay them. If not they would come, but not do anything. Can you imagine that?! Crazy!
