South West Trip: Day One

Our first stop on the trip was Bath. We had three hours there, but it still wasn't enough. We went into the Roman Baths first. We drank some of the water and it is not good!


Then we walked by the shops and made our way up to the famous Royal Crescent.

Then with just the girls we went into the fashion museum. It used to Jane Austin dresses to try on, but they didn't anymore, so it was a little dissapointing. While Eliza tried on a corset and hoop skirt we met the Jeanette Wolf of England. She taught Eliza how to put it on properly and then taught her a few dances. I thought it was great, Eliza was pretty embarrassed.



The girls with Kellee Cook at Wells Cathedral. There was a cool knights clock in the cathedral that chimed ever quarter of an hour and the knights rode in a circle knocking each other off their horses and the carving of the guy with a toothache,



The final stop was Exeter. We didn't know if we'd make it there before the Cathedral closed, but we did. So we visited the Cathedral then went in search of food.

The only place that we could find in our budget was Mcdonalds, but at least it was a cool euro interior.
Then off to our first Hostel of the trip. It was just outside of Exeter. We taught some students snaffu and also taught them the water game. It was a fun night, but as it gets darker ealier we have to figure out indoor games instead of soccer and walks.

That McDonald's was so cool. I loved the design so much it made me like McDonald's!

That was a fun trip.
