It’s been quite a bit of time since I last updated. But since my last post, all but one of my courses have finished. In addition, I had two massive assignments to finish, which I finally turned in last week.

Anyway, since I’ve pretty much been holed up on campus these past two weeks, I thought I’d take some time to talk about a day trip I took to Bath.

Bath has successfully stolen my heart. It’s absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful. Since the Romans originally built Bath, the style of the town definitely has a more Italian feeling than other English towns I have been to. Its Italian influence is probably part of the reason I loved Bath so much, given that visiting Rome is my dream.

Naturally, my friends and I started the day by touring the Roman Baths because…well, what else do you do in Bath?

The Baths were incredibly impressive. Although they were doing some construction, the sheer size and intricacies of the Baths were easily identifiable. Although I can’t say I’d ever actually want to swim in the water there, it was surprisingly warm.

After losing half of my friends inside the Roman Baths (they wound up spending more than 3 hours inside), my 2 remaining friends and I decided to walk around the town. We passed by the Jane Austen Museum but didn’t pay to go inside because we had no money.

With hunger sinking in, my friends and I found a tiny coffee shop to get some food. However, little did we know this ‘coffee shop’ was actually more of a kid’s diner attached to the children’ theatre. So, we enjoyed our food in the sun surrounded by children screaming and chasing each other around.

Then my friends and I visited one of the markets in Bath. Although smaller than I expected, it was still fun to walk around and see all the humorous items on display.

To finish off the day, my 2 friends and I reunited with the rest of our group. We spent about an hour just sitting in a park alongside the river. It was sunny, beautiful and the perfect way to end the day.

While Bath has certainly solidified itself as my favorite place, next week starts my Easter Break, where I’ll be visiting all new places and having all new adventures.

Until next time,
