A Day in Bath!


This past Saturday I continued my adventures with a trip to Bath! We actually ended up meeting up with Becky's friend Jency, who is studying abroad in Bath for the semester. She was a great guide and we all had a ton of fun! Bath is home to the famous Roman Baths, which were hot springs that the Romans built a temple and healing spa around for people to come from all over and enjoy public bathing. It was so cool to think I had touched the same water and rocks that the Romans had touched almost 2000 years ago!

Directly next the the Roman Baths was the Bath Abbey, dating from the 7th century, with beautiful Gothic architecture.




Next stop was the fashion museum...which was easily my favorite!!

My favorite piece in the whole museum

After the museum, Jackie and I decided to go off for some vintage shop and boutique shopping. They had great street vendors, resulting in a couple fabulous finds! Overall, it was a fantastic day and Bath is a beautiful city. I would love to go again!
