Last weekend there was Bath Skyline Walk trip. A bunch of people from the program all got together and began on the trail that leads around the entire city in an eight mile loop. Mind you, we did not plan to do all of it, but about half was expected. I, suprisingly, remembered to put on sneakers instead of my little flats before we set out, and boy was I glad that I did. What I didn't realize is that the city center of Bath is situated in a giant valley and to be able to walk around the outskirts means that first you have to climb out of the city. I wasn't exactly like hiking Kearsarge, but we did do a fair amount of walking up hill and up stairs and I was glad to have good shoes. We didn't mind the walk though, because now we are in the middle of 'paper weeks' and everyone is so excited to get outside and get a little exercise instead of sitting in the living room and writing (not that I don't love our living room). We all talked about our papers and our lesson plans until we had reached the top of the city. The view was absolutely stunning. You could see the houses lined along the sides of the hills leading into the center with all the churches and the Abbey (of course). There are also air balloons that fly over Bath quite frequently, I know, it's weird, but they made for a very pretty sky view. We walked along for a while and then all went back to doing work, but it was a very nice break!
