As I am writing this, pictures are being uploaded on Facebook....Bath was absolutely gorgeous and I was made fun of by my friends for taking so many pictures (I think that may run in the family.....Dad). I went with three other girls...Stephanie, Lauren, and Janelle. What a great group to go with! Lauren is my roommate and I am so glad I went with her because we got to know each other so much better...Janelle is a Pi Phi at UGA so we talked about that for a little bit but she is absolutely awesome too! I think we had a great group go and I can't wait to spend more time with them while I am here!
We took a train to Bath...we had to change trains once and it took us a total of 1.5 hours so it really isn't that far from Oxford. After we arrived, we went to the hostel and I was pleasantly surprised. Janelle even said she stayed in a nicer one in Edinborough so I think my fears about hostels were resolved. We then really hit the ground running! We had lunch at a pub and then headed to the Bath Spa. They were absolutely gorgeous...just look at the pictures and that will show you everything! Right outside the spas was the Bath Abbey which was also fantastic. We then stopped and had tea time (just a snack, really) and I went back and took a nap. Then we went to dinner at this really good Italian place followed by gelato right next door. I will say it was not exactly American lasagna but it was still good....and so much lighter than American lasagna. At night we saw three more sites...the Circus, the Royal Crescent, and the bridge whose name I forgot but that was very pretty. By then it was like 10 so we went back and went to sleep. The next day we woke up and went to the fashion museum which was pretty cool and then took a train home!
We are about to go out to dinner for our first time in Oxford so that should be fun and the rest of the weekend is going to spent reading and writing some more! Hope everyone is doing great at home and I will talk to you again soon!
Love you!
Courtney
Sounds like you're having a great time so far! Will you be back in London? Let me know. xoxo
ReplyDeleteIsn't lasagna Italian? ;0) Loved your pictures - especially the fashion museum. Caroline's question for you - "Do they have Lady Gaga over there?". Also - new Just Dance 3 coming out this fall-get ready! Can't wait to hear how your mom did in Haiti. So glad to see you're having a great time!
ReplyDeleteUC---I will definitely be in London at least once...I think we are trying to go see a play on the West End! And Alexis is going to come to Oxford so I will get to see her sometime while I am here too!
ReplyDeleteCaroline---um...Lady Gaga is universal! Although we did get into a little fight with someone on this trip about how awesome she was, so not only is she universal but she is also universally controversial! JUST DANCE 3...I can definitely see a party in our near future...they better have some Gaga on there! I talked to her after she got back and she had a great time...a couple little bumps in the road but I am sure you will be up to speed really soon!
