Today was filled with lots of riding in the coach but we did get to see a few cool things before the weekend was over. The Roman Baths were the first stop. Here is where the Romans set up this bathhouse where people could come and relax, and be healed by the waters flowing from the 10,000 year old hotsprings. It was cool to see and this was also mentioned in Austen novels as a popular activity in the 18th century. Next stop was Stonehenge. One of the 7 wonders of the Medieval World! It was pretty cool to finally get to see it after hearing about it all my life! We then went out to Salisbury to eat lunch. Our group chose the Whig and Quill Pub for a quick bite and it was pretty good overall. Back on the bus to ride the 4 hours back to school--ugh! But I was excited to make it back for ice cream!
I am so happy to see all that you are experiencing in your study abroad. Now that you have traveled and studied abroad, I know you are going to have a travel bug when you get back. Just keep enjoying! Miss ya Hannah!
