River River


Leisurely start today. We have finally spent some time taking in the many sights of this Georgian wonderland. We walked uphill from our digs and hopped on a topless tour bus. The is nothing like a city tour to open your eyes to what you are looking at and I enjoy the things I learn when I travel almost as much as the sights. I didn't realise that the Celtic word for river was Avon so when the Romans tried to name rivers in England ..... Hence the Avon river passing though Bath is no the same as that at Stratford. You live and learn. Hence the title for this entry. Panorama above taken with my Nokia Navigator.
Here endeth the lesson.

I had no idea about River River. I'm glad to be learning as I read your blog.
