It's funny to me how beautiful and charming and thriving all these little European towns are compared to say...this city of about the same size 40 miles from me in NY state Well, Bath was founded over 2,000 years ago and became a city 400 years ago, that might have something to do with it. I worked at a hospital in London that has been a teaching hospital since the 12th century. If you check out some of the towns in Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia for example, you might be pleasantly surprised. All these States were, of course, named in honour of English Kings and Queens, or the French in Louisiana [:D] Further West, Colorado is synonymous with "red" in Spanish and Nevada means "snowy" Sierra Nevada literally means "snowy saw" as in the teeth of a saw covered in snow. I like that one. They are in California and Granada, of course. Amongst other places. Hey ho, back to my beer [8D]
