Trip to Bath

Not only are we trying to see as much of London as we possibly can, but we are also trying to see a lot of the UK as well.  On Saturday, we decided to get a train and go out to Bath in Summerset, which is about an hour and a half west of London.  As you can see from the picture below, it was rainy and kinda cold (yes, I'm wearing a jacket and a long sleeve t-shirt in the middle of July).  It is true that the English weather is not all that warm.  In fact, we only have really had about half a dozen days where we could actually wear shorts.  We now know why everyone was looking at us as if we were crazy when we kept asking for a flat with air conditioning...you never really get a chance to use it here. 
  








The Royal Crescent...you can't really tell from the picture, but this row of flats are in a shape of a half moon.  It's actually quite impressive, and they say it is one of the best examples of Georgian Archetecture in the country.  The picture really doesn't do it justice 

Here is a better picture of The Royal Crescent that I found on the web.
