Our Final Trip

Well, it has certainly been awhile, but I figured I should write something about our last excursion of the summer...


On July 31st, we visited Stonehenge and Bath!



We left our flats at around 8am on the coach, so we arrived at Stonehenge pretty early in the morning, around 10:30 or so. We waited awhile to get in, and then we got to walk around it and learn about it. It's interesting because despite how popular it is, nothing is really known about it other than that it has been there for a few thousands of years. It was cool, but wasn't that exciting at the same time. I mean- it really was just a bunch of rocks. A bunch of really heavy rocks, anyway. I bought a postcard to send from Bath, and then we were quickly on our way there!
 
Once we got off the coach in Bath, Rachel, Janessa, Angel, Megan, and I went to a cute little restaurant and got food. I got a ham and cheese panini and a milkshake. The milkshake really was literally just that - but it was a frothy, delicious drink all the same!


After that, we wondered around Bath for awhile before our 2:25 tour of the city. We walked all around and got to see the different types of architecture Bath held and also on Roman Bath.






 We ended our tour by visiting the Roman baths, which were very interesting and cool. I hung out with Rachel and Janessa and we had lots of fun exploring the baths.




Our adventure ended as we headed back to our coach from Bath- we took a group picture, then we all piled on and headed back to London for our final night, which was filled (for me at least) with packing and trying to fit everything into my 2 suitcases and 2 bags. And visiting the Tardis. Which is a completely different story, especially since I don't even watch Doctor Who. The things I do for friends...

 Well, August 1st came, whether I liked it or not, and I had to get on a plane to fly home. With way too much stuff. Maneuvering the tube with 4 bags was a challenge I'm glad I will probably never have to do again. Eventually we made it on the plane and headed home. Even if we almost missed our connecting flights in Dallas!

 
Well, thats it! The end of my summer in London. Even if it's 3 months late, I finally posted it.
Thanks for the memories!
