23 October 2012: Bath, England

TUESDAY
Before class today, I went to the cafeteria to meet up with some of the others in my program.
People queuing for the bus. Busker sits outside the bookstore WHSmith and sings "Mad World." 
On my walk home, I saw fireworks randomly going off.

22 October 2012


MONDAY
A maintenance truck full of pulled up flowers drives by while I wait for the bus.
I walk out of class and the cows are right up by the fence.
The Student Union Shop.
I take a stroll around the lake and enjoy the autumn colors.
The ducks go fishing.
In the library, the stapler, hole punch, and scissors are chained to the table... there is also a surveillance camera overlooking the area, like almost everywhere in England.

21 October 2012: Royal Victoria Park


SUNDAY
Street cleaner.
The "p-patches" of Bath.
Children feeding the birds in the Royal Victoria Park.
One of my Spanish friends taking a picture of a squirrel, an exotic animal in Spain.
I was impressed to see so many families spending their Sunday at the park.

Statue carved out of a sequoia.
The autumn colors in the botanical garden section of the Royal Victoria Park.
The Olde Sweet Shoppe has a selection of American products. The Fruit Loops are selling for £7.99, this converts to $12.80 for a box of cereal.
