After an exhausting weekend at Canterbury, I had one day to relax before...
EXCITEMENT! PARENTS IN BATH!!
They drove from Grandma's, across the chunnel, got off in Dover, then drove 3 hours to Bath, where they arrived about 2 minutes before I had class, which was inconvenient.
took them on a tour of the abbey, then found a hidden tea shop where we spent our afternoon. Then had dinner at Tilly's Bistro, down the street from my house. It was Valentine's day--and I LOVED spending it with my fam =]
The next day I met them at their Bed and Breakfast for a wonderful traditional English breakfast!
We then went grocery shopping (thanks momma and daddy) and I gave them a tour of the museum where I intern. Then tea with Andrew Butterworth and dinner at a pub with the majority of ASE.
The visit was way too short but very enjoyable!
On Friday, my Mythologizing Shakespeare class took a trip to Stratford-Upon-Avon, Shakespeare's home!!
A two and a half hour bus ride took us to this wonderful place
we got to look at Shakespeare archives for 2 hours, and learned about prompt copies and read reviews to different productions of his plays throughout the years. Then we got a tour of the city, and finally, off to the Swan Theatre to see Measure for Measure!
Saturday was spent shopping, sleeping, and doing homework. Sunday, much the same, minus the shopping. I went out to breakfast at a small cafe next to my house and had a delicious breakfast. Back to classes tomorrow!
