Stonehenge and Bath: The Abridged Version

I'm about to leave for Madrid in less than an hour, but I wanted to get a post up about Stonehenge and Bath before I leave. That way I won't have another ridiculously long post. So, Saturday morning we left very early on a bus that took us through the countryside to Stonehenge. I fell asleep and when I woke up, there was Stonehenge right next to me. It's pretty strange to really see it right there in front of you, but they're pretty cool rocks. Again, you just stand around and take lots of pictures.
This is the hug that sent my camera crashing to the ground, but it was a wonderful day and I'll get a new one eventually. Maybe.
Then we drove a little bit further to Bath, my future home. It's so beautiful and I wish I had more pictures of the buildings and the river, but take my word for it. Bath is where Jane Austen lived for a while, so of course that's also why I loved it. We went to the Jane Austen Centre and had tea and scones in the Regency Tea Room. It was pretty adorable.
Then we went to the Roman Baths and took a tour with these audio guide things. There are lots of artifacts from the original structure.
In the center is one of the baths. It comes from a hot spring that's there and although you're not supposed to touch the water, we did anyway.

I should really get ready to go catch a bus to the airport and a 6:40am flight. I'll be in Madrid until Monday night, so I'll let you know how it goes when I get back!
