When in the Roman baths...

So yesterday was an extremely fun and educational (and very exhausting) day. We got up super duper early in the morning to meet the bus for Bath on the London Bridge. Thinking we could take the tube, we all met downstairs at 6:50 to hop the tube and be there by 7:20. But, much to our surprise, the tube was closed. So the sixteen of us booked it from Schiller to London Bridge, which is a really good distance in the pouring rain. Lots of rain, lots of unhappy, wet, and hungry people, and no directions on where to exactly meet the bus made for an "exciting" start to our day. Most people fell asleep on the bus and were that way until our tour guide began speaking. Cool dude, did a great job with the tour, but he SCREAMED into the microphone. Needless to say, no one could hear themselves even think let alone even try and sleep. After a beautiful (and very stuffy) ride out of London and through the countryside, we arrived in Bath. We took a tour through the Roman baths, which was really neat. There's one huge bath in the middle... the water doesn't look real clean but it's pretty hot and there's was a fair amount of steam. We grabbed a delicious lunch (fresh sandwiches on a baguette and soup) and sat in this courtyard by the Bath Abbey. It was chilly and damp and the tomato soup was warm and deeeeelish. After that, Noelle, Carrie, and I walked around and window shopped a bit and grabbed some fudge. We got back on the bus and went to Stonehenge. Stonehenge was exactly what you would expect it to be. Big rocks. But, it's really cool and definitely something we needed to see. We didn't get much time to spend there. It's in the middle of the countryside and we really would of liked so more time just to lay in the grass, but we got back on the stuffy bus and slept all the way back to London (because the guide was done talking). We hopped back on the tube to Schiller, but missed Schiller dinner, so Kurt, Preston, Greta, and I grabbed some pasta at this organic food market at Waterloo Station. After dinner, Noelle, Kurt, and I booked our tickets to Amsterdam online. Woot! We're going from June 26-30. Later, Evan, Trevor, Mal, Ricky, Preston, Jared, and I watched The Mist in our room. We made fun of it the whole time. I don't recommend it.
