The Royal Crescent

Yesterday was the first day that we had time to really go exploring. A few of my housemates and I decided to make the best out of it and walk to the north end of the city to see the Royal Crescent and anything else we could find along the way!
This is Annie (my roommate), Melissa, Jess, and Shaina (left to right) standing in front of the Abbey we love so much. We walked through the Abbey courtyard and through the main street of the city. According to Annie, the reason that the cobblestones are different on the main roads and the side roads is because the Romans rebuilt all the main roads when they took over the city, but left the side streets.

As we

were walking, there was this man, playing a fiddle while walking along a home made tightrope!

The Circus

This is a video of the "Circus". It's just basically where a bunch of really fancy apartments are in this huge circular set of buildings. From there we continued on to the Royal Crescent.

It was so beautiful and we had so much fun!

On the way back we went into an art gallery and looked around and then we decided that we should get cream tea. There is a list in the house of everything we have to experience in Bath before we leave and cream tea was one of them.

So we found a little place called Sally Lunn's that was opened by a girl who was a French refugee in 1680. I had the house tea and half a Sally Lunn Bun... which was like a huge piece of homemade bread with cinnamon sugar frosting. It was really good! In England (I've figured out) a "biscuit" is a cookie, a "scone" is a biscuit, cake is cake, and no one really knows what Jaffacakes are.
