I've booked a train to Bath and back on Monday. Weather.com says it will be 42 (Fahrenheit) and rainy -- just my luck. I hope the city is as pretty in the rain.
I was counting on some National Geographic-quality photos, but I'm finding the grayness of England difficult to work with. Thus, I'm not a photojournalist. But with any luck, maybe I can take a picture or two in the school of J.M.W. Turner, who's so popular here, and capture some of the "rain and steam" of the former Roman outpost.
(The picture here is an archway over the walkway that leads to the Castro de St. Maria, an Anglican church built in the 12th Century, in Leicester. The archway was perhaps built in the 13th or 14th century, given its shape.)
You're from northeast Ohio--the cloudiest place on earth--gray is in your blood!
ReplyDeleteIf a church was built in the 12th century it was Catholic. The picture was beautiful.
Have a nice time in Bath. If nothing else, visit the Abbey (notice the angels climbing up and down the ladders), the Roman baths, and the Royal Crescent.
Bath is beautiful. I went yesterday and saw all the things you mentioned. I'll send some pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou're right; the St. Mary de Castro church would have been Catholic. It's Anglican now, and I suppose it has been since Henry VIII.
Glad you had a nice time. I look forward to seeing the pictures! What are you eating and drinking? What is your next adventure?
ReplyDeleteA Roebke would ask what you're eating and drinking!
ReplyDeleteA Roebke responds: Isn't that the reason to travel?
