Bath, British Museum, Bars, Oh My!

    It has been a busy few days so I apologize for not writing anything sooner. On Friday I went to the British Museum. It was pretty big so we couldn't get through all of the exhibits, but it was so fascinating. There were mummies, and lots of statues missing noses, as well as crumbling pottery, and ancient Roman instruments. We stayed for a few hours but realized our attention spans were up when we started taking some inappropriate photos with naked statues, and fist pumping ancient ruins in the shape of a giant hands.
      On Saturday, we went on a three hour long bus journey to a place called Bath. Bath was part of the Roman Empire back in the day, and contains many ruins of ancient roman baths. We went on a long walking tour, taking lots of pictures of cathedrals, and other historic sights. Then we explored, went into random stores, nothing too exciting. After, we were able to explore these ancient Roman baths. I tried to imagining a ton of naked men, sitting in a pool together, bathing and enjoying each others company. I came to the conclusion that I am very happy they invented showers and shower curtains. Realistically though, everything was very interesting and I am happy I got to see more of England besides London.
     Being the Americans that we are, we couldn't miss the Broncos vs. Patriots game last night. We found a local sports bar in Picadilly Square, completely full of Americans. Since most of my trip were Patriots fans, I decided to be original and root for the Broncos. Lets just say I may or may not have some enemies on the trip now. I also made friends with the security guard at the bar. He kept calling me Audraayyyy, and gave me a hug when I left. So, i'm popular. Anyways, I'm heading to Amsterdam this weekend, but other then that I have no plans except for class and homework. I'll write again soon!
