Today was packed with so many different things! First we started off at getting up 6am so that we could get to our school CAPA, where our tour bus was picking us up, in order to catch the bus at 8am. They told us Stonehenge was only 45 minutes away but it ended up taking about 2 hours to get there! It wasn't that bad though because we just slept most of the way there. Stonhenge was really cool, expecially because my travel buddy Chrissy and I took an astronomy class called Stonhenge to Hubble (which is where we met actually) so it was almost like our anniversary friendship haha I also felt like I appreciated the whole experience a little more since I knew so much about it. We stayed at Stonhenge for about an hour (the weather was pretty cold and windy) and then we moved onto Bath which was an hour away from Stonehenge. The whole trip was nice because we were able to escape the city for a while and experience the countryside of the UK.
Bath was really cool, even the xurrounding town of Bath was nice, the architecture and landscaping was so pretty! And we of course got to take a tour inside the Roman Baths, which started many many years ago with the Celtics and then the Romans who built an entire complex around this "Sacred Hot Spring." It was really pretty and the water was actually hot! (we got to reach out and touch it at one point)
After Bath we headed back to CAPA and from there we ended up going to Wembley Park Stadium to catch a glimpse of the UEFA league championship game! It was Manchester United vs. Barcelona and we went becase our one roommate Melda is a huge Barcelona fan and she wanted to go down so badly to check the stadium out and everything around it. Even though I'm not a big soccer fan I'm still glad I went because it was pretty much a once in a lifetime opportunity, considering it was like their superbowl.
Barcelona ended up winning 3-1 and Melda was very happy. Overall it was an extremely eventful and diverse day!... and I am exhausted!
