Having a blast in Bath

Hello again! Here we are in the lovely area of Bath in England, staying at the St. Christopher's inn hostel.  When we first arrived, the weather was nice, the people were fun, and the food was good!  I would highly recommend anyone traveling through the UK to give bath a try, because there are many local sights to see and the town is beautiful.  The second day here we actually managed to make it out to Stonehenge, and although to some it's just a pile of rocks, there is so much history with it that one would be proper crazy not to check it out.  It was, however, a bit chillier out there on the hill and wet, so a rain jacket would be a good idea.  An umbrella might work, but if you encounter the sort of wind that we did, it probably won't make it to the end of the tour.  As we left the trashcan was full of broken umbrellas.  To get to stonehenge is about an hour's bus ride from here, but the hostel offered a great deal of two night's stay and a tour for about 26 pound, which was quite worth it.  There's also a huge abby that is the focal point of town and worth a look, and the roman baths are just plain cool in their own right.  The only down part of the city would be that, according to folks we've spoken with, the third most expensive city in the UK.  So I would a recommend a short stay and then hopping on North to somewhere like Edinburgh or East like us.  Until next time, have jolly day!  Cheers!

Hey, Josh is here.  I'm typing in a booth at St. Christopher's inn, which happens to be in Bath, England.  If you like old-school where old buildings are preserved from the 17th and 18th centuries, you'll like it here.

  Also, if you like places that do not change, 

the city's building restrictions make it almost impossible for new buildings to be built. The the Roman baths are here from the ancient time the Romans occupied the UK.  Like Dan said, it is an expensive city to live in.  However, if your a tourist looking around, living at hostels, you can find some inexpensive food and activities.  Stonehenge was great and surreal.  An interesting fact is: there were two other stonehenges' built before the Stonehenge that stands today!  So you can get an idea of how long these native people lived on the land.  We've been chilling with Australians, New Zealanders, and South Africans.  Pretty much all of the old English colonies are getting back together and having a reunion in their 'mother' country.  While hanging out with these chaps, we are starting to change our accents.  Because of this, we couldn't recognize one of our own Americans.  Last night we watched football (soccer) on the tele at the inn.  It was intense.  The underdog Barcelona crushed Manchester United, 2-0.  Such an amazing game.  Surprisingly, most of the people in the bar wanted Barcelona to win.  They didn't root for the English team.  I thought that was rather interesting.  The music right now is jammin.  I love it.  It's all American music, so sometimes I feel like I'm in the U.S.  Then I wake up from my daze and realize, no, I'm in the UK!  The inn is great.  However, there not the most organized.  They first put us in a room where there 14 people and only 12 beds.  Since there were mostly girls my age, I was willing to share. Danny concurs with my notion.  Fate, however, wasn't on our side as they moved us to a room full of old blokes.  Anyways good times are here and more to come.  Cheers.  Cherio.  Have a good morning, America, I'm now going to some Roman baths!
