Aquae Sulis.

This weekend, we went to Bath. Apparently a lot of people go there for the Jane Austen realm of things. But, I've never really been all that into Jane Austen stuff, so when I heard that there was some Roman stuff going on up there, we were like, yes. Let's do that. Remember how we love old stuff? Well we were about to see the oldest stuff we've ever seen, we're talking like 2000 years old stuff. That is pretty dope, I think. Anyway, nothing really happened on our day trip, other than what you will see in the pictures. OH, except that this one lady showed up to the museum with her bathing suit thinking she could swim in the bath. and I was like WHAT it is lined with 2000 year old lead [can anybody say, death wish?] and it hasn't been covered so it's all algaed out and nasty, YOU CRAZY.
Oh and on the way there we got in a fight about the map and the directions. Which seems pretty cliche, right? Anyway, enjoy the pictures.
