Hello StNOehenge! (but I did take a bath)


So a disappointment today. No Stonehenge! With all the sudden snow, London doesn't know what to do (Heathrow has shut down!) and the trip to Stonehenge was cancelled. Therefore, I did the next best thing, post a video of Doctor Who at Stonehenge.

Despite not going to Stonehenge, I DID get to go to Baths. There, we got to tour the Roman Baths. It was great fun to see all of the Latin stuff again. Tasted the Bath water. Tasted like hospital (don't ask). After the baths, I just walked around the town. Went into some shops for gift searching. Went inside the Baths Abby too.

After Baths, and a 2 1/2 hour bus trip, I was back in Kensington and hungry. I decided to spend some pounds on a take away meal. I ate an incredibly delicious £11.20 burger and now I've turned in for the night.

A couple tidbits from the week.
1. I LOVE the Victorian and Albert Museum. It is chockfull of all kinds of things from all around the world. I've been there twice and still haven't seen everything.
2. The Science Museum is also AWESOME! Definitely going back to see the exhibits and for future research projects.
3. Went into Parliament. No pictures were allowed, so I don't have anything to show. It was cool to see the inside of Parliament. Everything looked so ornate. Went into the House of Lords and Commons. You had to watch were you sat, because there were places you couldn't sit unless you were one or the other.

Hope all is well with everyone. It might be awhile until some more stuff happens. I'll be sure to post when I can. Till then, later!
