The Roman Baths

We headed right for the Roman Baths when we got back to Bath, but of course we couldn't resist this house on Pierrepoint Street.

There are things like this all over the place, and I am getting more used to looking out for them.

Alex took photos of the other Nelson sign on the house.

I'm glad we could see the Baths in the sunlight. They are a monument to Roman building, but also a real statement about Victorian values and sense of history. This is not what the top would have looked like in Roman days, they built a large covered building. But the Victorians finished it there way.

The view of the Abbey over the Victorian statues of Romans. Many layers of history here.

Even going in late there were plenty of people there. Most of them had the recorded tour, but we skipped that.

Alex standing by the baths. There are plenty of signs reminding us not to go in, and not to trip on the uneven pavement.

I wonder if I have a photo of me standing in this same place in the 1980s.

We left the Baths around 5:30, so most things were closed.

We did some window shopping. These cupcakes stood out, even with the shop closed.

We had dinner at the Crystal Palace, a nice pub, with good food.
