BATH

This picture perfectly sums up the English city of Bath, the Cathedral and the Roman Baths. Both are next to one another in the middle of the town. It is the exact kind of English town I have always imagined, all of the buildings looked really similar and old and all of the streets and shops were very quaint.

First we took a tour of the Roman Baths. We were given self-guided audio tour devices and we walked around. Most of what you see is the newly built replica of what it used to look like. As you walk, you can see the ruins of the old baths though. We walked through without listening to too much of the audio because there were little things to read about what you were seeing that made it much faster than listening to all of the stories.

We kept walking around the city and found most of the other famous places there were to see. We went up to the Royal Crescent and Royal Circle, both were areas of houses that were small and about 1 million pounds each. Johnny Depp has a house in one of them! We also found Sally Lunn's house, the oldest building in the city, other than the ruins of the baths, that is now a bakery. We did a lot of shopping and listened to some of the music people were playing on the street and went and had hot chocolate in a little bakery.

Bath was a gorgeous town, kind of what I imagined every town in Britain to be like and what I assumed Swansea would be similar to. Boy was I wrong, but I like living in a city and it is fun to get to visit these kinds of places on the weekends!
