ancient rocks and switzerland.....

so on saturday i had the wonderful opportunity to go to stonehenge and bath with my class, british life and culture, we left at 8:30 in the morning and met up at penrhyn road campus and all piled on a double decker bus that was so nice i decided it would be nicer than my first house. anyways i totally crashed and fell asleep on the bus( i mean coach) ride to stonehenge. but as i awoke we were out in the middle of nowhere with rock gleaming up ahead.

we got out and (we actually were on the other side of the fence dad) and walked around. on one side we were walking on a small path but then it just ends and you are walking on grass around the rest of it. its just crazy how close you actually get up to it. and what also was weird was that there was a road really close to it. a lot of people pass by stonehenge on their way to work. i just find that a little odd. anyways so we walked around stonehenge went to the food place bought a rock cake ( really clever way to call a scone). so then we got back on the coach JUST IN TIME before it started raining so hard. but thats ok cause we had a 1 1/2 ride to Bath.


so once we got to bath ( i was in group a) i had a walking tour with my group right away. while we were walking around with our teacher...philip woods (who is my favorite teacher EVER!!! minus mr. vandenbos....but that is for another blog) i noticed this boy in a white jacket he was so beautiful!!! i instatly recognized him as a boy from switzerland that i had noticed on the first day of orientation. i dont know his name but i think that him and i are meant to be together for sure. he doesnt know it yet but we are perfect for eachother. so my dad consisted of always trying to figure out where he was in comparison to me. and it seems like he was always close by....hm maybe was he trying to keep me in his sights as well???? lets hope so...or at least think that way!

so bath was beautiful and the roman baths were amazing. we got to take the audio tour of the roman baths and it was really cool. walking from room to room you could feel the heat from the water. this is the only place where there is a natural hotspring in england. there was the main bath, then there was there were other ones too but i dont remember what they were called. bu the little museum that they have there for it is built right over the main courtyard so you go inside and they have it blocked off now but the original courtyard is in the middle of everything and its just sitting there. you cant walk on it but its just strange to think that it used to be outside and ancient romans used to walk around in their togas and go swimming. oh history.
these baths were just crazy. this is the main one right here, the great bath. now a days they are filled with nasty nasty stuff like algae and other gross stuff i think they mentioned that meningitus is floating around there. anyways. so we walked around here and to the other pools and the cool things that the overflow system that the romans had built back in the day (which was a wednesday...fun fact for you haha) still is used today i thought that was pretty fancy. so after a fun adventure in bath and after it rained a lot more we got back onto our fancy coach and headed for home and home included me sitting behind switzerland. i was gonna talk to him but he fell asleep for the whole ride....ugh. oh well good thing i have class with him on wednesday!!!!!!
