Hello all,
I realize it's been a while since my last post, and realizing the danger of blog abandoning I will make an extra effort to update regularly. For now, I will have a brief recap of the things I have done in the winter.
Lots of experiments:
Christmas in London is everywhere!
My lab had a special Christmas dinner at a bar and grill:
Now for a real trip, to the city of Bath, founded by the Romans in 60 AD as a hot spring resort!
Of course there is a Christmas Market:
Apparently home to a famous food:
The highlight of the trip is visiting the Roman Baths, much of it still intact:
The top level is "new", built much later than the original baths below:
A model of the ingenious pool system from the original well:
Ancient roman decorations now and what they would have looked like:
Original roman drainage systems:
Spa treatment facilities:
As the finale, we are allowed to try some of the water from the hot spring! It tastes like a boiled sulfurous egg:
The rest of Bath:
The royal crescent:
Managed to get through the line for a "Sally Lunn Bun", which is kind of like a very fluffy brioche:
A sneak peek of next time! (Just a few days from now)
