We started the day with a 2-hour train ride, which was so much more comfortable compared to my airplane experience. I took the whole time to take a nap, and it blew by so fast. When we arrived at the Bath tube station, it was a breath of fresh air. There was so much more …

Much Ado About Nothing
We had the amazing opportunity to see Much Ado About Nothing preformed in Shakespeare Globe Theatre. The building itself—a replica of the original that burned about 400 years ago—is a Tudor style circle with a simple stage surrounded by bench seating on three levels and a large space for standing. There is only a roof …
Washed Over With History at Bath
Our trip to Bath this week was incredibly memorable, not only as an ancient Roman site that once again set my anthropologist/archaeologist heart aflutter, but as a charming, slightly tourist-trappy town. The site of the Roman baths themselves was incredibly fascinating to walk through. I loved seeing all the different artifacts that have been found …

I think that I have quite possibly lived the best 24 hours of my life. I got to see Tom Holland as Romeo and have afternoon tea in the Roman Bath House all within the last couple days of this trip. Unfortunately, I have experienced these high highs followed by a pretty low low as …
It’s Bath Time!
We took a day trip to the city of Bath yesterday. We got on the train, which was very nice, and rode it for about an hour and a half to Bath. On the way I started reading Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” which is so good, but I have not finished yet …
Pump It (Louder!)
On the train back from Bath to Paddington Station, I can’t lie, I teared up quite a bit. Looking out the window and seeing the greenery, the pastures, the mountains, and the quaint houses, I started to appreciate England in a way I never had before. I realized there was so much of this country …
Splish Splash I was takin a ____!
London doesn’t feel at all like Bath. Bath feels intimate and quiet without as much bustling. The car horns and sirens were replaced with music from many performing street artists. The beige/tan of the buildings and sidewalks made the city feel small and warm. Even from the 20th century, I could see how some would …
Cosplaying Rubber Duckies (get it bc bath)

There were just so many tall, beautiful things to look atI loved it. The roman baths were an experience I’ll neverforget! I felt like a weird calmness when we …
