Living in Londontown ♥ 2:55 AM


Alright, well I was almost caught up there for a while but then I fell behind. Seeing as how I'm sitting in the office waiting for emails and phone calls to be returned and can do nothing until this happens I thought I'd try once more to bring you all up to speed on that has happened lately (though admittedly everything has been quite boring due to the large amount of work we have to do before we leave.)

So back to Saturday, July 25th. This was actually a rather exciting day because Linden and I took an Anderson Tours trip to Stonehenge and Bath. We left from the Earls Court station on our coach at 9 AM and after about a 2 hour drive arrived in Stonehenge. We had the best accessory available - audio guides. Unfortunately you can't get very close to the stones but they are still amazing and quite a wonder. They are huge and impressive, and their unknown origins makes them so much more interesting. There is a part of the stone that is perfectly aligned with the sunset on the summer solstice and the winter solstice. We spent about an hour there before getting back on the bus and heading to Bath.

Bath is a small town about an hour away from Stonehenge and it is famous for the Roman Baths that reside there. The baths are so amazing. It's just fascinating that so long ago they created these intricate spas that still exist today. All the water comes from hot springs within the bath and there is one pool area left filled with water and a circular pool that still has water. A lot of it is still underground and being excavated so it was cool to see some of that going on.

Then we went to lunch at a restaurant and explored Bath for a bit, but we were kind of upset because the tour didn't give us nearly enough time there. We made it back to Earls Court at about 7 at which point I headed to the Apple store to get my computer back, with it's newly re-installed iPhoto. I spent that evening hanging out with Claire and her sister Morgan and friend Carlye. We sat out on the balcony and enjoyed some people watching on Hogarth while watching some movies on the computer, generally just having a good girls night in.

Sunday I went with these three lovely ladies out to Camden Market. It wasn't as big as Portobello and it had a slightly more confusing set up, however it was fun and a good atmosphere. Camden is most definatley a very punk part of town, because a lot of the stores are very punk.
Here's some photos!


The End.
