| Bath Cathedral |
Today was our first cross-country train ride. We took the bus into Birmingham where we transferred to a train to Bristol Temple Meads. There we changed to another train to Bath! After days of solid gray, it was actually sunny! Our first activity was a bus tour of the entire city- cool! A really great way to see a new area. We then headed for the Roman Baths were they had a good self-guided tour using the hand-held, dial up the topic, recorders. We spent quite a bit of time there. Our next stop was the Cathedral for me and shop with gifts for Barb and Jan. The cathedral was the largest we've seen so far and very ornate. It's walls are covered with what amounts to grave stones from down thru the ages. I got intrigued with the carved images of children especially.

Some were really beautiful. I could easily spend a month in Bath photographing. It's difficult to do it justice. There are some very large steeple chase races going on right now so the train was full of younger men either going to or from the track with the festive mind-set that horse races can bring! We got back to Birmingham after dark- boarded our bus and headed for dinner on the way back to our B&B. Barb and I are considering a trip to Cardiff, Wales tomorrow if we can get out of bed at all. Times will tell.
