Hey all,
I had another great trip today. We went to the town of Bath, about two hours east of Oxford. The site of a Ancient Roman Bath, Bath is also home to various sites notable in 19th century England. This also used to be Jane Austen's stomping grounds.
The Ancient Roman Bath's were pretty remarkable in that I did not realize how extensive the Roman ruins were in the British Isle. Used as a temple in which to worship the Goddess Minerva, these baths were fed from a natural hot spring. Currently, it wouldn't be a good idea to go in these baths as they are fed with lead-lined piping. The Romans just didn't know any better! Here are some pics:
The bath.
Me!
Roman Drain. They liked their drains.
Ruins
Bath Abbey lies next to the Roman Baths. It is a GIANT church that was of course beautifully built.
The Abbey's Interior (there was a lecture being given at the time)
Tomorrow I will be heading off to London! That will be a slew of new and promising pictures! Cheers!
Chris
