Week 2-Some Stones and Finally, The England I Know Of


Seeing Stonehenge is one of those things you would only go once, but definitely not the second time or anymore times. The only fun thing about seeing the stones was that there was an audio guide with it so I got some interesting facts, but otherwise, stonehenge is pretty much what you see in pictures and in my pics--just stones. In fact, I found the surrounding area with grassland and sheep much more interesting and beautiful. I would post more pictures of the stones, but every picture angle is the same--just stones.
Once I got to Bath, I realized it was the epitome to represent England in pictures and media. Buildings were ancient, but so well preserved and its awesome to see that the Brits actually built a cute little tourist like town around the Roman Baths.
The water is actually much more dirtier than what it seems. Lydia tells me that she actually saw mold in the corners, which is disgusting. Hope the Romans back in the B.C. era did not bath in that SH**.
Went to a candy store (just like the one from Harry Potter)... Total fantasy land for me and I got to buy some mint chocolate treats for homies back home, but only to find that it melted on the way back. On top of that, I am so tempted to eat it myself. I think Ive come to realize that ice cream stores and sweet shops are Bath's version of Arcadia's Boba stores. And for the Boba addict that I am, this is good, trying new sweet drugs.
