Bath is beautiful. I wouldn't mind living there at all. Every building is built of out the lovely yellow Bath Stone, and it just makes you feel like you've traveled back a couple centuries.
I mean, there are also rumors that Johnny Depp owns a house there in Park Crescent (see picture below)....so that may be a good reason to live there as well. ;)
The Roman Baths were very awesome also. They slightly rekindled my desire to someday become an archaeologist...
After exploring the baths, we got to enjoy some delightful afternoon tea in the Pump Room, which is right next to the Roman Baths.

The Pump Room is so magnificent and grand. There was a guy playing the grand piano while we drank our tea and ate our delicious scones. I've developed a bit of a scone addiction. It's something I'm going to have to work on before I come home to the land of no afternoon tea. At the Pump Room, I had the Ceylon tea. It was yummy.

So that was fun. I greatly enjoyed pretending to be a heroine in a Jane Austen novel. Both "Persuasion" and "Northanger Abbey" were set in Bath. We also got to drive by the Assembly Rooms where they would go to balls and all that fun stuff.
All in all, it was a lovely day in Bath and I would love to visit again. Or live there. Either one.
Now I'm off to have an authentic English afternoon tea in my art history teacher's vicarage.
Cheers!
I want to go to Bath! We'll have to continue our baking quest for the perfect scone over Christmas break! I'll loan you my scone pan if you like. A very nice post.
