It’s nice that you compare that hill side region with Roanake’s in
Virginia.
Several years ago I drove through Bath (in Enland), too. I had made a
car trip with a former friend from Dover via Brighton and Chichester to
Wales, then to Cornwall, and back to Oxford, London, and Dover. We
brought her son to the ‘summer college’
http://www.chichester.ac.uk/international/index.htm and between
Chichester and Wales we came through Bath. I do remember the curvy road
down into the city in the valley and then up the hill on the other
side. Did not stop in Bath, though. But I appreciated the whole region
there :)

Excerpt: “Miss Virginia 2006 Adrianna Sgarlata is a 23-year-old
Fairfax, Virginia, native. Her notable accomplishments provide her a
statewide platform through which she challenges every segment of
society to take a proactive role in eradicating a pervasive culture of
harassment and violence. Her platform issue, “Behaving Respectfully
and Valuing Others,” is a program through which she advocates for
bullying awareness and antibullying legislation.”

What do you probably connote regarding that Italian \Scientology\
wedding and Victoria Beckham who, as Bruce Darnell explained, is a
close friend?
