Rick Steves' Europe Video — a weekly podcast based on Rick's popular TV series — gives you a colorful look at the sights, people and history behind Europe's most interesting destinations. Presented by American Airlines. For more information on the Rick Steves' Europe TV series — including episode descriptions, scripts, participating stations, travel information on destinations and more — visit www.ricksteves.com. In the town of Bath, we'll visit the social center of that community 2,000 years ago — its elegant Roman bath. Then, after a relaxing break in a local park, we'll drift along an old canal, complete with still-functioning self-service locks. Built for commerce in the early 1800s, today these canals are popular for pleasure boaters, and the canal-side paths invite bikers, dog-walkers and sightseers.
