A weekend in Bath


This past weekend, we made a trip to Bath to see the Meryons. We took the train on the way to Bath, and returned in the large Volvo that Ros (Kate's first cousin once-removed) and Richard so graciously agreed to lend to us for the half year we're in England.



We had a great weekend, thanks to the Meryon's warm hospitality. Richard took us on a tour of England's Industrial-Revolution era, and showed us the various locks, pumping stations and aqueducts of the Kennet-and-Avon Canal. There was plenty of opportunity to take some good train pictures as well.






After Church on Sunday, time to say goodbye. The picture shows us all in front of Ros and Richard's house, with the Volvo. Back in York, we managed to fit the Volvo through the narrow alley way to the garage in the back of the house, only to find out that there was no way we could get the car into the garage. Ah well. £ 58.00 does not seem too much to pay for a street parking permit, when you weigh it against the risk of scraping the car getting it into the garage...



And did I mention that we had to pass through Pennsylvania on the way from Bath to York?
