Healing Waters

Bath Abbey

This weekend was much better than last. I finally got a chance to lay back and relax. I even went to the spa. Jacque and I headed to Bath last Thursday and went to the Thermae Baths. We didn't do any of the treatments, but swam in the pools and relaxed in the steam rooms. It was wonderful to journey to Bath to do what people have been doing for centuries. The Romans have used the same hot springs since the first century. The water in the spa is the same natural thermal waters that feed the Roman Baths. I do not think the waters healing properties were lost on me. At least, I certainly feel much better now. The water and steam truly revitalized me right when I needed it most.

Trying on corsets and crinolines

This week has been busy so far, and things won't calm down for a while. Classes are going into overdrive until we leave for Spain in eight days. We have tests and papers and readings all crammed in before our departure. It will be a busy week, but the beaches of the Mediterranean await me when I'm finished.
