Back to London now, after seeing Bath today. I absolutely love Bath. The Roman baths themselves were pretty amazing... So old!! It still strikes me as fascinating that everything on the continent is ten times older than the nation I come from. Today I stood in a spot where a Roman could have stood. Right on those blocks. I was in awe.
I also just love the city of Bath. It's gorgeous and so peaceful and so...me.
We FINALLY got afternoon tea!!!! I went to Sally Lunn's (est. 1482) with Tiffany, Kalen, Kristine, Mark, and Prof Magee and got a traditional cream tea. We all selected our own treats to go along with it--since afternoon tea is all about the presentation and side foods--and I ended up with half of a HUGE Sally Lunn bun with raspberry jam and clotted cream, which sounds super gross but is actually delicious. I loved every second of being there. The tea, the bun, the conversation, it was all perfect. I've been patiently waiting for afternoon tea since arriving here, and now I feel complete.
I also tried Roast Chicken flavored Walker's Crisps today, which was a unique and slightly awkward experience. Their crisp flavors are so bizarre here, and these literally tasted like chicken...which seemed really weird in a crunchy crisp. Pretty good though. I'll probably tried the bacon next, which will be equally strange.
And now, at Regent's, hanging with some of my new best friends and attempting to get homework/blogging/skyping/reading done. Little productivity, but great memories, so...it balances out. :)
