Our Trip to ENGLAND
Well we're back from jolly old England, or rather I should say cold wet old England. 
We left Salt Lake on Tuesday morning, (Oct 28th), at 11:00 am and arrived in London at 8:00 am Wednesday morning. We met up with 3 other people, (from the company that Dave was doing a presentation for) in Atlanta, and they rented a car and the 5 of us crowed into the car and drove from London to Bristol. Along the way, (a 4 hour drive), we stopped in Salisbury and had lunch and saw one of the 9 original Magna Cartas. VERY IMPRESSIVE. We were not allowed to take photos. The cathedral where the document is housed was moved to the site in the 1600's, and was so beautiful. From there we drove to Stone hedge. We arrived in Bristol around dinner time.
It was very interesting to meet the different people attending the meeting in this area, from different countries. We had a lot of laughs.
On Thursday,while Dave was in meetings, I walked down to the train depot and went to the town of Bath, and took a tour of the ancient Roman bath houses and the country-side. It was a very interesting day, to discover how the
Romans knew in 400AD the methods to build such a detailed
bath house. I also toured Sally Lunn, the original bakery that made bread for the monastery, (when all the ovens were out-lawed). I also shopped the little shops and vendors. Then, I caught
