"Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder."
I saw this on a sign outside of a pub on Saturday--cracked me up.
Anyway, what is more important is that the pub is located in Bath, England (pronounced 'Bahth' :) ) and that is where I spent my day (in Bath, not the pub).
I've been in a dry spell as far as outings and day trips are concerned and have been really antsy lately to get out of London and explore more of England. Vanessa, who lives a couple of doors down from me, was feeling the same, so we decided to venture to Bath for the day.

Bath gets it's name from the Roman baths located there. These baths are different than other Roman baths because the source of this water is a natural hot spring laden with minerals which were believed to promote health.

Mineral deposits coat every surface.

tour of the Roman Baths.



For 50 pence you can sample the water--it's got a strong irony flavor.

Other than the ruins of the Roman baths, Bath is also famous for its Georgian architecture. It was a city which attracted the elite of Britain in the 1700s. Just about all of the buildings are the made of limestone, so they all are the same creamy color.

'The Crescent'-more Georgian homes arranged in a crescent.
