Day 5

I was very sick on our fourth day o/f the trip, so unfortunately I was unable to go on our excursion to Roman Bath or to watch Magic Box. But on our fifth day, we were blessed to go to Exeter for a free day. Us girls found an awesome restaurant and had some cocktails, and then we met up with our professors to go to the Cathedral there. Seeing this authentic English village made me wonder what it was like in older times. I believe that it was likely to look like some of the slum villages in the “Housing Problems” documentary. However, now it seems to be a very gentrified town – perhaps more upper-class.

Exetur Cathedral is the first place I noticed that previously Catholic aspects of the church (statues, images of saints, etc) were destroyed in the British reformation.
