Today we took a class field trip from Plymouth to Stonehenge to Bath. It was quite the journey considering the shortest point A to point B was an hour and a half and the longest was four hours, but well worth it. Despite the constant pouring down rain we got to see two amazing sites of England, both of which I hope I get another chance to visit.
It's amazing to think about those stones at Stonehenge being erected by people so long ago, and how did they do it? Just standing there on the ground where so much history has occurred felt really brilliant as the English would put it. Then, the city of Bath is very historical as well. The buildings were so old and fascinating. The Bath Abbey was beautiful and we also toured the Roman Baths. I learned a lot about the history of the Roman Baths and their conquer over Britain. I was able to buy some children's books which provide more information on the history and will be a good resource for my future classroom. According to the history, the Romans channeled the natural hot spring water into the huge lead lined bath. People came from all over Europe to this Roman "spa" for cures and healing. You can still go to the spa today of the Roman Baths in Bath, England.

It eases my mind to know that everything is going so smooth and good for you!! I miss you very much and can't wait for you to be home!! I was showing Spencer your pictures and when he saw you, he was saying your name clear as a bell!! (minus the "n" sound so it sounded more like "icki"! haha) But we knew what he was saying!!
