Stonehenge and Stuff

I went to Stonehenge and Bath and it was cool. Honestly though, Bath is actually pretty cool because every building is required to be made out of the same Bath sandstone, so the entire city has the exact same architecture. Hearing that, I went in thinking the city would just look ancient, especially with Roman Baths being the city's most famous attraction. Instead, all these ancient buildings are filled with Starbucks and Prets and Subways.

Doesn't Bath look exciting! Actually, these are just a few of the pictures I took there. This is more of what Bath looks like:
To the left of this picture is the new spa that is another of Bath's main tourist attractions now. They decided to reroute the water from the ancient Roman Baths to this new spa. It may the only building that incorporates glass into its design. It was designed by world-famous architects at Grimshaw Architects. Here's a picture of it, notice that it still has the sandstone structure though.
