Bourton-on-the-water

Today we went to Bourton-on-the-Water, a Cotswolds village, in Gloucestershire. It really is the Venice of the Cotswolds. There is a little stream/canal running through the middle of the town. We parked and walked down to the canal. The water is only about 6 inches deep and people are allowed, if not encouraged, to dip their toes and even walk in the water. The kids walked around the water looking for souvenirs. Natalie found a 3-pence coin from the 1950s (before the British moved to the current monetary system. We were going to visit a few other places but it was such a nice day and everyone was having so much fun we just hung out by the water and ate lunch.
