Today was the day of Bath.

First, because the B&B has no shower. I like soaking as much as the next guy… in fact, one of my favorite things about traveling in Japan was the Japanese baths. However, I am a large man. A large American man. When I want to be clean, I want a shower. No such luck. So I started the day with a bath.

Then it was a delicious sausage and egg breakfast (no hot tomato for me–I’m sorry, English tomatoes bite. Why are the British such good gardeners, and yet, can’t seem to manage a decent tomato? But I digress) and then we were back out on the country roads to Bath.

Bath, home of the only hot springs in England and the ruins of ancient Roman Baths is very picturesque town. The architecture is interesting and the baths are pretty cool. There’s also a great bridge by the river. It’s a great town to spend the day in relaxing, taking in some tourist sites and shopping, just ambling about, seeing some interesting things and accomplishing nothing. It was a very welcome and needed break after the last weeks of work. I feel so recharged. And tonight it’s dinner back at the B&B!!
