Is this too broad?: U.K. Tour

I'm baaaack! I went to the U.K. for three weeks. Are you jealous? If so, feel free to live vicariously through this three part series on my trip!

I went to England with my school, so we were accompanied by two expert professors. Our group was comprised of about 20 students of different ages and majors. The trip was for credit and focused on the history and literature of England. I saw so many amazing things and learned a lot. I have chosen some of my favorite moments from the first week of the tour to share with you!

The first week was spent in Bath, England. It is such a nice city. It was predominately built in the 18th century, so it lacks the medieval feel you encounter in other parts of England. It was very clean and open. It also, of course, has many points of interest for the Jane Austen lover, which I enjoyed immensely. We had tea at the Pump Rooms (darjeeling, of course) and pretended to be Catherine from Northanger Abbey as we "took the waters." I even found myself taking "a turn about the room" Pride and Prejudice style.

We took a few day trips as well. My favorites were Wales, Stonehenge, Salisbury, and, of course, London. Tintern Abbey in Wales was one of my top three places I visited. It was so gorgeous and full of history. I still can't get over it! Stonehenge was amazing simply because I have learned about it in school, etc. for most of my life. It felt like my whole existence was culminating at that point. Salisbury Cathedral had amazing stain glass windows. They were intricate and beautiful and I loved them. London was perfect. I didn't get a chance to wander like I wanted (next time!!!), but I did see some great things. I loved the British Museum and the National Gallery. We also went on the London Eye and, despite the rain, enjoyed a gorgeous view.
