Sophie and the UK Adventure: Trip to Bath, Part 2

Hello everyone!

So, to continue my Bath adventure:

After Stonehenge (which was really cool!!!), we returned to Bath, and kind of wandered about in a tired stupor. That night we all stayed in our room and played Scribblish/Some game that you write a story by passing it around. It was great fun!

The next day, I went (with Greg) to the Roman Baths, which is what makes this place pretty famous. Bath is the only place in Britain that has a natural hot spring under the ground, so the Romans set up a huge bath house to enjoy the water to the fullest.

This Bath here was the main open air one, (I think). The top level that Greg and I are on in this picture is the actual ground level. The stoned that make up the bath and that go around the bath are mostly the original stones that the Romans put down. I felt really cool walking around.

The baths were right next to the Abbey, so I took this lovely picture... With a bird. :)

This was the Goddess that the Romans worshiped at the baths.
She was the Goddess Minerva. This is the head of the statue
that was in the temple.

This was the overflow of the upper baths. It
looked so cool, I had to take a picture. It looks
like that small opening is hiding some creature.

There were more pools around and under ground.

That creeper there, the statue, he totally watched everyone bath... D:

Greg was ready to go swimming, but we're not allowed to go in... And I'd forgotten my swimsuit.

The whole place was really nice, and at the end, there was a place where you could taste the "healing waters of the earth."

I didn't. I had been warned by people that it was... well, gross.

After returning from the Baths, I checked out of the hostel, and met up with the others at a nice pastry place.
