This morning I went to the oldest house in bath, and ate one of the famous Sally Lunn buns, and old secret recipe they found hidden behind a secret cubbord in the wall. There really is no way to describe it other than a massive hamburger bun, cut in half, but it tastes more like a pastry. You can have many many different toppings on it, and I had a strawberry cream and meringue topping. It tasted like strawberries in a sweet heavy cream with freeze dried ice cream chunks mixed in. It was delicious and I'm so glad I decided to try it out despite the fact it looked like a hamburger bun.
I then decided to just walk and browse around outside since its a whopping 75 degrees. Basically unheard of over here. I'm even wearing shorts and a tank top today, it's the most amazing thing I could have possibly asked for.
I met a guy named will today while hanging out outside of the bath abbey. He works for a company called Friends of the Earth, that originated in the US. He had dreadlocks and he was very hippy, and reminded me of David, he had the same kind of passion. He was really kind and you could tell he cared about what he did. He kept me entertained for a while and he gave me some pointers on what beer to drink while in the west of England.
I really didn't do much today, I ended up buying more medicine, and just taking it easy since I had the worst night last night. The room I was in was full and at 2 am we could hear people on the streets drunk and yelling, but the worst part was that I was sick, I had a fever, and I was completely congested. Since I got more medicine I'm feeling much better, and I even bought some fresh veggies and raw meat to cook up for dinner. After dinner I have plans to read for class and get to bed early. I leave for Cardiff in the morning, and I've only heard really good things about it, so I'm quite excited. Bath is lovely, but it's really populated with tourists which makes it slightly less appealing. It's definitely one of the more prettier cities though. I took a walk around a neighborhood area, and it was gorgeous, I would absolutely love to live in any of those houses.
