Hello again, since i have last posted we have take a trip to Bath, England to see the Roman Baths, Bath Abby, Pulteney Bridge and The Cirucs which is an example of Georgian architecture. Pretty cool stuff. The day started early as we walked to the train station around 9 a.m. This was going to be a day filled with picture take as my dad told me i should be liberal with the camera. As I pulled out of my backpack i quickly realized the battery was dead. I wasent to worry as i had a fully charged Iphone and a friends Camera at my disposal. The train ride was about Two hours since the train went down to Southampton first and then up to Bath. When we got there we B-lined it for Bath Abby and the Roman Baths. We toured Bath Abby first, saw the Tomb of Jane, the wife of Sir William Waller and observed the great Architecture of Bath Abby. After about 20 minutes or so he walked over to the Roman Baths. This place was really cool. The Roman Temple was Left alone as much as possible. If bits of the temple were moved they were displayed with detailed descriptions of where on the temple they came from and what the fallen pieces represented. After touring the temple and taking a couple hundred photos we left the temple to take a lunch break and then walk around Bath some more. Before we left the temple some of the girls headed over to the bar area to get a glass of water. The tender said they could consume the Baths water for free with their admission pass, so they tried it. They said the water tasted like blood.
Walking around Bath we saw Pulteney Bridge and the circus as well as the architecture of the whole town itself. You can really get a roman feel while walking around. The group split into two, me tyler and three of the girls. We did more walking around through bath while the other group of girls decided to shop for cloths. Around 5 we The group back up and decided on Chinese as an authentic English dinner. Once everyone finished we headed back home, stopped at a pub to discuss our day, then to the dorms.
Recently people have been asking me if i feel homesick yet. I dont know why they are asking now but i can honestly say no. The most homesick i felt was on the first two nights i was here and that was because of the bed. It felt alien to me. The duvet cover and pillow cover felt like it was woven out of straw, the pillow itself was wimpy. Other then that everything else has been great so far. I Have a test and presentation next week to prep for. Ill post pictures later today.

Cheers!
