Bath/Stonehenge

So, i've got a lot to catch up on, but i think first i'm gonna toss up pictures of our trip to Bath and Stonehenge.

Oct 22nd the GLS crew went to Bath, a Georgian city 100 miles west of London... beautiful city built out of what has become known as bath stone, a sandstone that gives the city a distinct dull brown color. In the center of the city are the Roman baths, an ancient site built around a natural hot spring.

This is a recreation of the site. In the foreground are the remains of the bath, and in the back to the left is where the temple to Minerva was.
