I’ve actually been home since Thursday night, but with all the activity in Paris and London I managed to pick up a cold and have been asleep all but a few hours since then.

Our last touring day was Stonehenge and Bath. And it was cold out there with the breeze! Fortunately we planned for that and were bundled up, including hand warmers which worked really well for keeping fingers warm between taking pictures. They don’t let people go up close to the stones during operating hours so we were able to get beautiful pictures:

And later, in Bath, the abbey:

And the Roman Bath itself:

After viewing the baths, mom, Joanna and I went to afternoon tea at the Pump Room which was delicious and relaxing. And I’m pleased to be able to say it wasn’t really any different from having afternoon tea at the Brown Palace in Denver. It’s always nice to see when a tradition makes it across the pond to the states intact!

The drive back to the hotel took more than three hours because of roadwork being done. There was some sleeping on the bus, and a final picture from the day:

We don’t know why the building was lit up this way, but it was pretty.

And now I’m home, resting and getting over this cold.
