Scenes From Bath

Bath, NC
N 35 28.594 W 076 48.919


Bath, NC is a really special place. Both Libby and I love it. Not only is it historic and interesting, but it is tranquil and homey in a very pleasant way. We visited the 1734 church. We learned about Blackbeard the Pirate and about the show boat and Edna Ferber's novel Show Boat.


As we walk the streets of Bath we get the feeling that we could slip in to a timeless lifestyle in which nothing changes in a lifetime. No doubt this is a false impression, but it is very appealing. In other circumstances, I would find the idea of changelessness as repulsive, but not while I'm in Bath.


Bath local government satisfies my libertarian preferences. The town hall building is 15x20 feet. It is open Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:00 to 12:00. Behind the town hall is a gazebo (lust hus in Swedish) by the water where the town council meetings can be held.






I just learned how to collage photos before posting them. That's much easier. Did you know that you can click on the photos to see them full screen?
