Cotswolds and points north

We left Bath after breakfast, and headed north. We stopped at several
towns in the Cotswolds, walked around just to see them. Very quaint,
quiet, and lovely. Then drove farther north, got stuck in traffic near
Birmingham, and made our way to Ironbridge Gorge. Iron was invented
here on the 1770s, and the first real iron structure, a massive
bridge, is here. And, it's a very cute town. We had Thai food for
dinner (good green curry, worst pad thai ever!), and have settled into
a very nice (spacious, with bathroom) room above a local pub. Tomorrow
we'll visit some of the 11(!) museums inthis area, dedicated to iron,
pipes, and Victorian life. Then we'll head to York.
