Today we started off early and went to Bath, which was about a two hour drive. Pulling into the city and seeing all the slanted buildings was really cool. I really liked the layout of Bath. We began with a tour of the Roman Baths, which required us to have a phone tour guide system. I was really amazed on how preserved the Baths were and how they've been able to collect all the artifacts. It was surreal just standing on grounds that were about 2,000 years old. The tour was really fun and informative for the amount of time we had. Once the tour was over, we headed up to the restaurant and sampled some of the Bath water. To Seth and I, the water tasted like blood, mainly because it had so much iron in it. The water wasn't good, but it was fun to sample it. Once we left the restaurant, we were able to get lunch and shop on our own. Me, Seth and Alex found a nice little pub in one of the small allies. We haven't really found a pub that hasn't been good. After lunch, we found our way up to some really cool shops and some pastries. The streets were filled with many musical performers and mimes. I had a chocolate pastry that was amazing before we left. Leaving Bath was kinda sad, but we had a nice view of the city before we left. Our next stop was stonehenge. I was very excited to see this, mainly because I'd seen pictures of it in school all the time. I was amazed on how big the stones were and I have no idea how they put them up or transported them. We got a lot of good pictures and video to show our families. Around 5:30pm we arrived at our new hotel in London, which is great. We finished the night with a great dinner at a pizzeria that Marge recommended, and it was fantastic.
