On the Road










We picked up the rental car and headed out to Bath. On the way to Bath we stopped at Windsor Castle and took the tour. It reminded me of the Biltmore, only for Kings and Queens. We didn't have much trouble getting to Bath, thanks to a map we bought at a gas station, but when we got into Bath we had problems. There are no street signs and lots of small streets and roundabouts. We drove around looking for our hotel for at least an hour. After much fighting and a few tears we finally found our hotel and a place to park. We then had the worst meal of the trip so far at a Pizza place, so we went to bed pretty miserable. The next day we got an early start and had one of the best days of the trip so far. We toured the Roman baths and then we wandered and shopped for the rest of the day. We stayed another night in Bath and today we have hit the road for York. Almost forgot, we bought a GPS navigator to help us find our way around. ( anyone need a GPS? I have 2 now).

Sounds like the amazing race.... Could you bring home some of those used sparklers home for souveiners(spelling)? If you can make it through this trip you can make it through anything. You might have have a hard time getting rid of the gps here because it might put you on the wrong side of the road. Look forward to more post. Love Gene and Chantay.

Love Betsy and Jim
