Splish Splash in the Roman Baths
On Wednesday morning, we got to run through the iconic Paddington station and get on a train to Bath. After an hour and a half of awing over the beautiful British countryside, we reached our location and were immediately stunned by the delightful weather and dazzling structures.

Bath is the Name of the Scientist, You’re Thinking of Bath’s Monster.
Bath was very different than the rest of London. The Roman influences in the architecture of London are for the most part pretty subtle, however, in Bath, it was really bold and clear. There were statues of gods and places for offerings. I am not really an architecture guy but I can spot when buildings …

Day 8- A Day Trip to Bath
The Ancient Roman Baths took us back to a time where going to a public bath was a luxury. That the population of Rome took pleasure in rooms with different water temperature and pressure, places to read and socialize, and to worship their gods. My favorite part of the Roman Baths was of course the …
A Girl Just Needs To Touch Some Grass
Going to Bath was the escape I needed. I am a simple southern girl that needs some grass, water, and fruit and I’ll have the best day ever, so entering this beautiful town outside of London was so calming for me. The train ride over seeing all the suburbs and then entering the countryside with …
Taking a Bath
Bath has been one of my favorite stops on our trip so far. The city is so beautiful and has a slower pace than London, so it made me feel at peace. My favorite thing we did was go sit at Parade Gardens. It was a pound to enter, but it was a beautiful park …
