Bath

So the intership is fun and well, but not everyone has a fun or glorious job. The UNCW students met at Dr. Ervin's house in Mumbles which is about twenty minutes away from our houses to have dinner and talk about our stay so far. Mumbles is a really cute little village where Catherine Zeta Jones and about four other mansions lie, and one of these days a bunch of us are going to be tourists and try to take pictures. Betsy and her husband Dawn made us a lovely meal of pasta with cucumber, salad, beans, and crusty bread, it was delicious. I got to hear that some people were typing all day for a computer sofware company, being a teaching assistant at an elementary school, sitting at a bank all day, or doing social work. The next day all the American students took a field trip to Bath, which is half way between London and Swansea; about two hours on a bus. When we got there it was absolutely beautiful, I put a few pictures up, but they don't do it justice. It was funny because we were standing in line and there was this crowd circling around something, so I went to find out what the big deal was. Haha, well when I got to the center there were two men wearing thongs doing handstands with firecrackers shooting out of their butts. Quite amusing I guess. We went through the museum with these personal tour guides that were like Zach Morris cell phones, but it did a great job of explaining. Then we got free time for like four hours, and I walked around with another girl. When we had to load the bus there was another crowd, and this time there was this guy that was going to get on a 10 foot uni-cycle and juggle with flames.
