A few faves from London


Our hotel

views from the Eye



Tower bridge
St Paul's

A bake shop on Drury lane- are those Muffins?
Made me think of Eric

Westminster Abbey

One of my favorites that Dean took - well two- one above and one below.

London Photos

We had so many London photos, that I have decided to post them all on my website and just post one or two of my favorites here on the blog. Please go check out the site www.pamsphotosite.com. Click on Art for Walls and then click on London.

English country side














Bath

Oops, put these in backwards- the end ones are first. Oh well.
Bath was one of our favorite stops on our tours. Things in the museum dated back to the 1st century.


Below is what was below one of the mosaic floors. The opening was high enough to allow heated water to go below and heat the floor.



The large pool
one of the feeders to the pools
brooches and jewelry found in the pools and around as they excavated.
This was great- instead of just showing you the pieces they found, they did a computer animation to show what it probably looked like.
I think this guy was part of a drama that had ended just as we got there, but he looked so realistic standing there, I had to take his photo.

The Bath Abbey

The statues were added much later than most of the other items here in the area.
In the restaurant you could get a glass of spa water. I was not impressed.
