I'm Lauren.. and I'm an Archaeology Nerd

Yesterday, I took a day trip to Stonehenge & Bath! As I mentioned before I'm a big archaeology nerd (I've taken 2 elective classes in college), so I've been wanting to see Stonehenge for quite some time! I was very surprised that it was much smaller than I expected in person! The weather was quite dark and mysterious when we went which perfectly set the scene. Bath was quite a picturesque town with lots of Edwardian architecture and of course the ancient Roman natural spring baths there!

STONEHENGE! <3

The Roman Baths.. vintage hot tubs? :)
I also saw Hamlet last night, starring Jude Law! It was a fantastic show, very different from Wicked of course. Shakespeare is so hard to perform, so I was impressed with his acting; he was very animated and passionate on stage.. Pretty easy on the eyes too ;)

  1. You look great. And yes, England is always this cold, lol.
    I can't believe I've never taken a day trip to stonehenge, despite always wanting to go there.

    Try going to Cambridge for a day. It has great architecture.

  4. When I visited it was so cold. I was really amazed at the works in Bath. We ended up having lunch at KFC or McDonald in Bath.

  7. I am so unbelievably jealous of you times a million! I hated Hamlet at first, but as the story progressed, I began to like it more and more. (PS While reading my friend sent me this link; it's hilarious: anglefire.com/art2/antwerplettuce/hamlet.html) And Jude Law!!
    Wah and I've wanted to see Stonehenge since I read about in Tess of D'Urbervilles. Luckyy

    PS your vintage hot tub made me laugh!
