Bath

Famous Royal Crescent building 
      


















   I loved staying in Penzance.  It was nice being by the beach and having some warmers days.  There were so many gorgeous areas there and I loved the feel of the towns.  Today we headed to Bath.  Most people haven't heard of this city unless you're a Jane Austin fan.  She mentions Bath in most of her books.
        We're staying at a Bed and Breakfast and the residents are a very sweet couple.  We told them we were from Utah and they asked if we were Mormons.  They had a couple from Utah last week that were Mormons.  They thought it was interesting they didn't drink tea or coffee.  They asked us if we drank water.  Oh the things people say.  We've had several opportunities to talk about the church with others.  We've been brave enough to hand out a Book of Mormon and some passalong cards.  It's like a mini-mission.
     We spent the day exploring around the town.  It's pretty small so we tried not to explore too much so we'd have something to do tomorrow.

Highlight: Having Mike (the man we're staying with at the B&B) drive me into town to get a new adaptor because I somehow lost our from Penzance to Bath.  It was very nice of him.  I was just about to get my running clothes on to find a store.

Lowlight:
             -Swallowing two bugs while running on the coastline.

        -Having a drunk guy at the pub mad at us because we're Americans.  He kept saying we're                            stealing all the oil.  I guess it's kind of true though.


Cars here are really small or maybe I'm big.  Maybe a little bit of both?
