Roman BathsRaised floors with heating underneath in the Roman BathsWe found this tour to be so educational.
The Romans were very advanced in their engineering."When in Rome......or Bath"Bath Abbey in background and Roman Baths in foregroundFashion MuseumThis guy knew his Marilyn Monroe memorabilia.

Tonight we are staying at The Falcon Inn in Painswick, just past Stroud (no, we are not outside of Barrie :)) in the Cotswolds. It is called the "Queen of the Cotswolds" and is noted for the 99 Yew trees in the church courtyard.
Today we spent over five hours in Bath and took a guided tour of the Roman Baths. It was so informative. We also visited the Fashion Museum which included a special exhibition of dresses that were worm by Marilyn Monroe. Tonight England plays the Czech Repubic on the telly. Till next time...
