England: Day 2

We made some itinerary changes and decided to go to the Cotswolds today, I think in large part because we needed sleep and we also had to rethink the Cotswolds experience.  When we got to the train station, we had to figure out what we were doing and then validate our passes... and then barely missed our train.  Like we saw it leave as we were running towards it.  Sad.  Another theme to our trip!   This resulted in us getting to Cheltenham Spa late, which resulted in us being unable to go to the Cotswolds since buses are so much less frequent there and they don't run after a certain hour.  We couldn't go the next morning because we had scheduled Stonehenge for that time.  I was so disappointed because I was looking forward to that part of England so much.  Anyway, Cheltenham was pretty and it was interesting to see perhaps where an English person may take a little weekend getaway.
I wish Los Angeles tried to make these little touches more places to look prettier.

City Hall or something of that sort.

Pretty lake

My hair (sadly) probably looked the best today than it did any other day during the trip.  Truly sad.

Dome inside the Pittville Pump room.

I'm inside of a tunnel!

This picture was taken right before a nice British man stopped to talk to us.... and didn't stop.  Eventually we had to interrupt because we didn't want to be late for another train!
Fortunately we made it.  And when we were in Oxford was when my camera died so I didn't really take any pictures of note in Oxford.  Note how talented Ali is at taking a picture of us... I usually cut off someone's face.
