Oh! Who can ever be tired of Bath?

For a short day trip, Erin and I took a coach to the town of Bath. I knew that it had the historical Roman baths and that Jane Austen had lived there, but I had no idea it was such a beautiful town! We went and looked at the Bath Abbey, which was built in 1499, and then wandered around the city and went to the Jane Austen Centre. Jane Austen lived in Bath for a few years and the exhibitions focused on her writings there during that time. It was cool to walk down the same streets that she would have! I loved Bath--if I ever get the chance to stay in England again, I would love to stay in a smaller, quieter town like that outside of London.

I really want to go to Bath...I think that I would like this place the best...well besides Paris, well maybe not.
I do like the idea of thinking of Jane Austen and how those places were in her stories and what not.
Jealous.
