Saturday we woke up early to take a bus tour out to some interesting sites around Bath. We first visited Wells Cathedral. It was pretty typical for a cathedral (I've seen a lot at this point). We even had time to stop by a little farmer's market that you could buy all sorts of food and crafts from. Amanda and I picked up some homemade apple juice and clotted cream fudge to split for a snack---delicious! Next we went to Glastonbury Abbey. This was the ruins of an ancient abbey and it has the place where King Arthur is buried. I really liked this one because they had lots of beautiful flowers everywhere. It was like a spring day! We got back onto the bus and headed back to spend the remainder of our day in Bath. Upon arrival in the city we all went the Jane Austen Museuem. It wasn't great, but they did tell you a little bit about Jane Austen's life when she stayed in Bath. It was really cool to finally get to see the place that she mentions so frequently in her novels as a place of relaxation and culture. Next on the agenda was walking up to the royal crescent which is from the 18 century and a model of georgian architecture. We decided to find a movie theater to spend our free evening and we finally found a cinema that was playing "No Strings Attached". We grabbed a bite to eat at a very interesting mexican-ish restaurant and then saw the show. The movie was AMAZING! I'm still not sure if it was because it was just that good or I've just really been missing things like going to see movies with friends but either way we left the theater on cloud 9. What a great day!
