say, oh, 43 AD. It's not hard to do when it's right there in front of you!
The Romans get a major High Five and several Attaboy's for building this elaborate
structure, harnessing the hot, curative waters into many different sized (and different-temperatured) pools within. ..
The spring still bubbles at a rate of 264,000 gallons of 115 degree water each day!
This statue, below, is one of many that overlook the main bath (you can see them along therailing in the top photo).
Will they take a dip?
No, had to catch the train back home;)

Love that last pic! Jer's still smiling. Bodes well for his sabbatical experience.
I see you each brought along a TV remote control. (Ha!)
When you gonna get to Speakers Corner at Hyde Park? Immensely entertaining and cheap!
B-day card on the way for Keely.
Hugs & Kisses.

Ah yes, Speaker's Corner!
It's on the list!
We've got to use up our BritRail passes as they expire the end of October. So we'll be back to do London things in November.
And yes, doesn't everyone take their TV remotes with them wherever they go?
(For those not understanding, we are each holding an audio stick that tells you about the baths...)
Hope you get a chance to BritRail to Cambridge. Like Oxford but different, too. Try to make Evensong at Kings College Chapel if possible. (Do the same at Westminster Abbey when doing London. Get there about 4PM and tell them you're there for services.) Have Jer take you punting on the Cam if the weather's nice.
Please pass our greetings on to the Olives when you see them. You'll enjoy their company.
Unk
