Further adventures from the Shire

Wow! It's hard to believe that my time in the Shire is almost done. But yesterday was a wonderful day, with lots of sightseeing and many, many pictures.
Liza and I went to Bath, while poor Lesley stayed behind to unpack and recover from her honeymoon and preparing to go back to work.
The drive up was just spectacular, and we found parking rather quickly. Liza and I were in wonderful luck, becuase as we were crossing the park that was just off the parking lot, we saw a city tour bus, and hopped on. It didn't cost very much, and they took us to see several sights.
Then we went to the Roman baths, and that was absolutely astounding! All that history, amazing and beautiful. We spent probably three hours wandering around, taking in the sight and listening to the little commentary tour that we had. It was brilliant!
Also, to think that the water in the baths was the same as it was so many thousands of years ago! It just blew my mind.
Like I said, I took so many pictures that I filled my memory card up, lol!
After the baths, we got ice cream, then took the tour bus again and got off right where we started. We then went to Aveburry (spelling?) and saw the standing stones. Amazing! I couldn't help laugh, however, at the sheep grazing right next to them. Here are these wonderfully old stones, sacred in their time, and were sorrounded by sheep. But in a way it made it that much more amazing. To think that through everything, those stone managed to survive, and were integrated into daily life.
Wow.
We ate dinner at the Red Lion, which was good food, and then we came back had a relaxed evening. It was a lovely, lovely day.
I'll post more tomorrow, after we get back from Oxford. Take care everyone!
HUGS!
