I'm in Europe for Spring Break.  I've been to Bath, Windsor Castle, and Stonehenge so far in England.  Since I've already been to London a few times I've forfeited the usual touristy stuff.  I have friends that have lived here for a while so we haven't been sightseeing as much as just hanging out in neighborhoods I might not otherwise see.

I've wanted to see Stonehenge since I was little and Windsor was cool because I'm interested in the royal family and it's a real castle started in the 11th century.  But both of those things - while interesting - are things you go look at, nod your head, and move on.  Bath, however, I was pleasantly surprised by.  The architecture is amazing.  I did a sort of self-guided Jane Austen tour.  I visited the apartment where she lived and saw the places she wrote about.  And I visited the Roman baths just walked around for a long time.

Today I'm working.  I have a ton of work to do so I'm sitting with my laptop and trying to bang it out so I can go out tonight.  At the end of the week I'll train to Edinburgh.  I've never been to Scotland so I'm going to try to make the most of my time there.  I'm mainly here to see friends but I have so much work to do that if I don't get some things done I won't be able to enjoy my friends.  I'm including some pictures below and I'll post an album or two when I get back.
