So are people from Bath called Bathers?

[icepixie]

Well, I was going to try and upload all my pictures of today's trip to Bath before I left, but with about fifty of them, even cutting out the bad ones, I just don't think that's going to happen. But at any rate, we had a good time; Bath is gorgeous, and even just wandering around was fun. We saw the Roman baths, of course, which were stupendous, and a museum of a Georgian House. Didn't have much time for anything else besides lunch and a little strolling, but that was okay. It's not too far by train; we can come back if we want, which do, I do. I want to get up on one of the hills outside of town and take a picture of all the steeples. Oh, and go to the markets. Heh. The people here who said Bath was more like Continental city than a British one were right...it looked different in some way I can't really put into words.

One cool thing on the way there--we changed trains at Bristol Temple Meads, and there was a steam train waiting at the platform next to ours! We had just enough time to take a few pictures before it blew its ear-piercing whistle and chugged off, passengers hanging out the windows and waving. Very cool.

All right, last minute packing tonight, then a loooooong train ride to Edinburgh tomorrow. I may try to find an internet cafe or use one of the computers with internet access at the hostel, but if not, see you all again on the 20th!

If a man bought dress clothes in Bath, would it be a bathing suit?

[icepixie]

Hmmm. Perhaps. Although that lovely pun doens't quite work grammatically, unfortunately...it would be a "bath suit." Which is nowhere near as much fun.

Shh. Let the labored puns have their fun. They'll wander away if nobody pays attention to them or their grammatical issues.

Hee, I'm glad Americans kept stealing town names. There's a Bath near my hometown too, but it's not particularly gorgeous. ;)

Have fun in Edinburgh!

And then mispronouncing them. *contemplates "New Maa-dridm" Tennessee*

Well, it isn't Roman. The Romanness counts for a lot. ;)

Have fun in Edinburgh!

Thanks!

< grins> That and Bath, NY couldn't be much more Northern Hick if it tried. ;)

Oh, I did send you snail mail addy right? I sent your card to your home since it just went out today. The return address is my school one, so don't be confuzzled. :)
