Nov. 3rd, 2007 02:05 pmMy gods. How many days in a row are these Brits going to set off fireworks? According to my book, the actual holiday (Guy Fawkes Night) isn't actually until the 5th. I suppose I should ask about where/what celebrations are going on here in Bath for it.
So I've booked myself an appointment to go see one flat for monday. (SELF: Monday, noon, meet at BLC.) Haven't heard back from any other company yet, but I suppose it is the weekend now. Even if I keep forgetting these exist.
Spent today walking around a lot. Ended up going into the abbey-turned-church here. It was kinda neat, for a church. I wandered past the roman baths, too, but didn't go in. Now I know where they are, though. (FYI: Bath has the only natural springs in England - thus its name - and was colonized in Roman times) I spent many hours wandering around downtown bath, today. I checked out the farmer's market, which was neat. I also ended up booking myself onto a bus to stonehenge for tomorrow. (I plan to go many a time whilst I'm here. To see stonehenge is a childhood dream of mine.)
One thing that I just can't seem to get over no matter how many times I see it is how vegetarian/vegan friendly they are here. Things are marked as being "vegetarian friendly" or "vegan" right on the packaging all the time. And there are specifically veggie restaurants and stores. Like lots of them, not just the rare one like back home.
