I've been looking forward to today's events since we got here. First, we went to the city of Bath and the Roman Baths. I had no idea how much I would love it. I could not believe how many interesting artifacts were in the museum. I listened to almost every recording and spent almost two hours in the baths. The design of the building was amazing. I loved the circular pool and the hot rooms. It was so interesting the way they used piles of rocks to heat the floors from under the ground. I learned so much history from walking through the baths. The view of the city was beautiful. I wish I could truly capture it in a picture. The food and shopping were also wonderful. :) Then we went to Stonehenge. I have heard about Stonehenge in school for years, but I never thought I'd actually get to see it in person and walk around it. It was amazing to see. It really made me wonder how they built such a huge monument and transported all those stones so long ago. We saw one of the Seven Wonders of the World. That's awesome! Another major highlight was going down the the Royal Shakespeare Company bar yesterday and meeting Jamie Ballard. He played the part of Angelo in Measure for Measure. We met a friend of his in the hotel on Thursday, and then went to the theatre to meet him. We introduced ourselves and talked to him for two hours! He was so nice and gracious. It was such a great experience! We are now in London, and it is amazing! It is so lively and busy. I was sad to leave Stratford, but I love it here! There are so many things to do and see. I cannot wait to experience them all!
