City of Bath

Last stop on our tour was the City of Bath.  The architecture is absolutely beautiful here and we stopped in a square where we saw Bath Abbey.  Also in this square is an old Roman open-air bath house that uses natural hot spring water.  We were advised not to touch the water, but I did hold my paw over one of the small streams and I could feel the warmth.  The steam coming off the pools made it look like a very relaxing place for a bear to bathe.





There was a lovely display of poppies outside Bath Abbey and we also noticed one at Westminster Abbey this weekend.  You see many people wearing poppies on their coat to honor the veterans.  November 11th is the official Remembrance Day, but we saw poppies everywhere the whole month of November.  It is a really beautiful tradition to honor the soldiers who have been lost during their service.
