Bath


This week you are traveling to Bath in Somerset. The Wife of Bath is of course from Bath. Bath is a beautiful city in the southern portion of England. Take a look at a few of the pictures of the city with the below website.

Make sure you notice the Sally Lunn's. My parents ate on one of these while they were in Britain.

Also, I'd like you to take a look at the Spa in Bath. Bath is known as the only place in Britain with natural spas. I remember in Korea, walking into my first spa. It is a strange feeling walking into a spa in a foreign country. I'll tell you why in the classroom.

The town of bath seems like a pretty cool place to live. I like how some of the houses are built around canals and people can just row right by. Now for the spa that is in Bath, it seems incredible. I would not expect something that nice and modern would be in a place like that. That spa would be a great place to go sometime once I turn 18.

The town looks so pretty! And the spa looks very relaxing and enjoyable. The town looks very interesting and I love how the water is surrounding the houses. It would be really neat to visit Bath.

The citie looks pretty old in some parts. It looks like a great place to have a water trampoline! The spa is very impressive. They have everything people need for a relaxing day except for a massive Plasma screan TV. The hot tubs look perfect and are just deep enough for me to try and stay underwater for 40 seconds! I just hope the pools are clean and have no yelow spots! Overall I would gladly jump into the spa water from 7 feet high if I was 20 or so!

Bath looks like a really cool place to vist some day. The city is beautiful. I liked how that houses were close together and there was only a little water way or path between them. In one of the picture i noticed there was a Starbucks Coffee, i thought that was funny. The Spa looked amazing. I have always wanted to go to a spa. The Thermae Bath Spa in Baths makes me want to travel to Bath just to go to that spa.

I never knew there was an actual place named Bath! The town itself is beautiful and impressive. The spa there is incredible and i would not mind going there one time. I think is neat how the houses are built around water as well. I hope to one day be able to visit Bath.

Saige Miller said...

The town is beautiful and I think it would be an incredible vacation to visit Bath. The spas look like the most amazing place in the world. If i ever became wealthy and really wanted to be pampered I know where I would go!

Emma Norton said...

The town is incredible and so beautiful. I would LOVE to go there and take pictures. My grandparents are in England right now i wonder if they are visiting Bath. I might get to see it when i go with them as my graduation present. And i would love going to the spa! Its amazing. Looks so refreshing.

lexey said...

Bath looks really cool! The spa looks very nice to go in and it is really neat to have the houses surrounding them. It would be really cool to be able to live or go visit in one of those houses overlooking the spas. I also looked at the spring cafe and it looks like a restarant that looks like it's inside a home which looks really pretty.

Kayla Sanson said...

The pictures were unbelievable. It makes me want to go and visit. Iv never seen anything that looked so detailed and interesting. It looks like they spend alot of time on everything they build. Its amazing.
The baths looked great too. It looked relaxing and chill. It would be cool to visit.

The town of Bath looks like a very interesting and exciting place to visit. I think it is cool that the houses are built around canals. The spa in Bath, seems amazing and very relaxing. I would love to visit Bath sometime in the future.

Max Barden said...

The town looks very nice and the canals right next to the houses is pretty cool. All of the buildings look very different from in America in terms of their designs. THe spa also looks like it would be cool to visit sometime.

Katie Ellis said...

The town of Bath seems beautiful! The spa looks incredibly relaxing and a place I would love to visit sometime. I think it would be cool to live in a town with canals running through it also.

Unknown said...

The town is pretty and its definitely not something you would see here in the US. It looks like a really interesting place to visit and walk around. The spa looks amazing and I would love to go there. It reminds me of this place I went to in Mexico but this spa is much nicer and prettier.

Brittany Vigar said...

The town and everything was really pretty! It would be cool to visit someday

samuel john peterson said...

"Bath" is a very wierd name for a city in the first place. Though, the city of Bath, seems like a wonderful place to live or visit. I have never really been into spas but this one i would have to try out.

KaRecka said...

the town was a very pretty place. But the spa is the one that caught my eye. It makes me want to take a trip there. Just for the spa and nothing else, it seems very relaxing.

Katie Asbury said...

Bath looks amazing. All of the buildings are so old and really unqiue. I would love to visit. The spa's look amazing and very relazing I would love to visit them.

I wish there were buildings with this much history and design here in America. I'd love to live right on a canal in a house with that much craft work and detail. The spa looks amazing and very enjoyable. But, like the orignal post said, I think it might be a little weird because i'd be a foreigner and not really familiar with their ways.

Kristen Ebbert said...

The town is really pretty. It's cool how the water runs right through the houses and buildings. The spa looks like a really relaxing place. I'd like to visit the town of bath some time.

Tiffy said...

The town of Bath is beautiful and interesting! I never knew there was place called Bath. I would like to visit there one day!!I like how the water surrounds the place. It looks very relaxing.

JON AHRENS said...

The place looks amazing. It seems it would be a real cool place to live. I love looking at pictures of forign countries because they alway seem to look so much nicer than the U.S. I think it's funny how the U.S. has so many immigrants when theres places much more eye appealing. Im pretty sure if I lived in Bath I would sit in the spa or swim in the canal all day everyday.

Lauren H said...

The town of Bath is beautiful. I looked at the pictures and Bath is now on my list of places to go. I think I like the city because it makes your feel like you have stepped into a different time period. The spa video was nice and looked extremely relaxing. Although the hot springs inside looked really modern and I think that they would have looked cooler if they had mad them out of rock or made them fit with the old world feel better. Although I don’t think I will visit there if they are anything like the spas in Korea that you told us about.

keara sanson said...

The Architecture of the city is rather impressive. I like the detail that went into designing the older buildings. I think the way buildings were designed (visually at least) in those days is far superior to the way buildings are constructed now. It would be interesting to go to this city and just look around. The Abbey looks like it would be a cool place to visit. While the baths do look nice and refreshing, I do not know if I would partake in them or not. I'm generally more of a private person, but it may be interesting to do so.

Zac Harford said...

Bath looks like a very cool place to vist some day. The town looks very beautiful and interesting to visit. Having rhe canals right next to the houses seemed pretty cool to me as well. I never knew there was a place called Bath, and if I had known, I would never have expected it to be like this.

cornelius sowers said...

I definitely agree with Harrison and Emma about how beautiful the town of bath is. I think I would like to visit the baths one day because they are so elegant and beautiful, they are a spectacle to behold.

Anonymous said...

i never thought bath was a real place. it seems pretty cool because of the running water running strait through the houses. i think it would be cool to go visit orsee that place someday.

Brian Barr said...

Bath is really cool. It's pretty how the housesare surrounded by the water. The spa looks like a relaxing vacation spot.

Kevin Becker said...

Bath looks great. It looks like a great place to just relax and enjoy its beauty. Everything is so detailed and the structures are amazing. I would like to me the architect who designed to understand where he got his ideas from.

mollyries said...

The town of Bath is so pretty! I would like to visit it some day when i get older. It is cool how the canal runs right through the town and how the houses are built around it. I also wouldn't mind visiting the spa.

Curt Blum said...

Bath looks like a very unique town. I like how the buildings all have the same design and i also like how the spa runs through the town. It is cool how there is one big central building in the middle of the town. This place would be a very good vacation spot.

alliedavis said...

The town of Bath looks like an amazing place to visit. At the same time it is really neat to see that there are places in Bath that exist in the United States, such as Starbucks Coffee. The Spa looks wonderful and more ellaborate then some of the spas i've seen here in Cincinnati. In the end Bath looks like a sophisticated place to live, and if I had the money-- I'd visit.

jake lackner said...

The town of bath looks just like beechmont avenue. No, not really. But it looks like a very nice place to live. The spas in bath are incredible looks like a nice place to hang out. Only if you have a lot of money though. It seems like an alright place to visit,

craig said...

This is Craig Leugers and the city of Bath is huge and amazing. In one of the pictures I looked at, it showed the city from far away and with all the long similar buildings so hunched up to each other the place looked like a big wall. For something so big it's really wonderful looking. I also looked at the spa and that looked incredible with pillars in the water and the sizes of the baths are amazing. I've never really been to a spa but I would not mind going to that one.

Tim C said...

The town of Bath looks very historic and i like how the all the buildings remind me of art deco. The town of Bath definitely looks like a great place to visit and i would like to visit it sometime

Unknown said...

the city of bath looks really good. The spa looks really neat to, i hope the people there dont walk around naked like they do in korea...

Kevin Hetrick said...

Bath seems like a pretty cool place. It seems extremely impressive with it's architecture and design. The spa there looks very interesting but i'm sure it costs a ton of money.

Anonymous said...

The town seems like a neat place.I like the way the houses are built. The water surrounding the houses is something different, I think it would be cool. The spa looks relaxing, people there must really enjoy it. I would not mind going there to see it for myself sometimes.

Carolyn Daley said...

The town is so gorgeous. It makes me think about our country and how much of its culture is presurved in other things, and not the architecture. The spa is incredible! It seems like such a relaxing place to spend time. If i was rich this would be the first place i would go on vacation.

nathalie said...

The town looks really beautiful. I like how the houses are surrounded by water. The spa looks really nice too, very modern.

Unknown said...

It was really interesting to find out what bath looked like, and it was unexpected, that it was so pretty and unique. And the spa! The spa, looked like it would be an extremely out of body experience, and so relaxing.

Emily Lemaster said...

The town of bath is amazing. And the spa is the best part. The hot tubs seem very relaxing too. I would really like to go there sometime.

ty knab said...

The city of bath looks like a really nice place to live. The buildings are really cool and it seems to be a cool place to get away from everything. The spas look like somewhere rich people go to relax. I mean yeah I would go there if I had the money it looks like an awesome place.

Fred Walker said...

The town of bath is very unique and unlike any town I think I have ever seen. The water between the buildings is neat and the spa is also very impressive. The buildings look very different than any i have ever seen. It is definitely a place I would enjoy visiting.

Unknown said...

After checking out the website I was fascinated by the architecture and designs that were shown in the town of bath and within the spa. The spa looks really relaxing and is a place I would want to go sometime.

The town of Bath looks really cool and seems like a great place to visit. The canals and roads would be great to explore and see a different culture. If I were to travel to Bath I would have to go to the spa. The spa looked really relaxing and peaceful.

caleb correll said...

The town of bath looks pretty cool. I could definately see myself taking a visit there. The spa is awesome too and i wouldn't mind going there someday. The town overall is much cooler looking then I thought it would be.

katie alsip said...

The town looks very nice. It looks like it would be a really fun place to visit. The spa looks very big and relaxing. Its also really cool how the houses are built around water. I would love to go visit.

Pat Guanciale said...

The Bath looks like a very cool town. The I really like the architecture that the buildings have. The spa looks pretty relaxing but are probably expensive. Could be cool to visit.

Ginny Shafer said...

Bath looks so pretty!! I would love to visit there someday. I also love the structure of the buildings and homes. The only down side is that it's probably very expensive to be able to go there.

Unknown said...

The architectuire is extremely intricate, as with most European cities. It is clear that the most money was spent on the cathedral.

Matt Best said...

Wow, that place is awesome. The more we learn about England and Europe, the cooler it sounds like it would be to have the chance to go there. It all looks really fancy and formal though, I'd almost be afraid to touch anything. Either that or I would just spend all my time marveling at one cool thing while totally missing some other cool stuff.

gmancz said...

The town of Bath seems to be very interesting. The canals seem to be a neat thing. The spa looked very nice and looked very relaxing.

garrett said...

The town of Bath looks like a great place to visit. The way that the houses are built around the canals make Bath both unique and awesome. The spa seems like it would be very fun to go to.

Tristan Wolfe said...

This town looks amazing and very different from ours. The designs on the churches and cathedrals are truly elaborate. The Starbucks in the middle seems to be about the most common link between us. The water surrounding the houses is quite remarkable.

Unknown said...

The town of bath is cool but i dont know if i could live there it just seems like i wouldnt fit in to the culture and the type of society.

Andrea Hemingway said...

When looking at the town of Bath, It was incredible. Every thing was beautiful. The housing that was surrounded by the canals, were my favorite part. I would love to be able to look out my window and see a beautiful canal, and all the people cruising by. I looked at the spa and was surprised how modern it was. I would definitely want to go there someday!

Nathaniel Finney said...

The town of Bath in Somerset is an amazing place. I think that the structure of the canals near the buildings is a very cool acrhitectural feat. The spa looks nice but i agree it would be weird to bath there. I think i would enjoy visiting there.

Emma Searcy said...

The town of Bath looks stunning and I would love to go and visit. The fact that the houses are built around the water is very different and neat. I am most definately going to the natural spa in Britain. It looks very relaxing and fun.

Garrett Keeling said...

The city looks very beautiful. It also looks fairly old. The bath house looks like something out of a magazine or a movie. The only thing about the spa is going around naked with other strangers, which doesn't really excite me.

Thugenberg said...

This town looks like a very relaxing place to visit. Albeit I would rather go on a different sort of vacation, this place would be a unique experience. Personally, I am not a big fan of the whole spa thing but I suppose it could be a romantic vacation.
