Glastonbury, Wells, and Bath

We left bustling London this morning and picked up a rental car. Bill
has
mostly mastering the driving and is doing great, although it's tough
to drive on the left, sitting on the right side of the car, and drive
an unfamiar stick shift with the left hand, all on teeny tiny narrow
streets (lanes) with oncoming traffic. But so far, we've made it!

We first went to Glastonbury, where the hippies reign surpreme and
misticism is in full force. The ruins of the abby were pretty cool. We
also went to the nearby town of Wells that has an amazing cathedral.

We then made our way to Bath. On the way we detoured into deep
countryside (smallest lanes with deep hedgerows on either side) to a
cider maker whose family has been making hard cider for many
generations. We arrived in Bath in time for dinner followed by a tour
of the baths, pictured.
