Bath, England

This weekend outing was quite sometime ago, I'm just trying to catch up.
Tyler got tired of 'hanging' around while Lindsay studied, so after a Sunday morning cup of coffee, accompanied with Lonely Planet (the best guide book out there) Great Britain Guidebook, he hoped on a train. It was an hour and a half away from Oxford, with great countryside views from the train window.
This is the main 'tourist' attraction in Bath, The Roman Bath Museum (http://www.romanbaths.co.uk/index.cfm?alias=home).
The Romans were quite impressive with their engineering skills back then. In the First Century, they had lead pipe plumbing, steam rooms, radiant heat flooring (wow it's back), hot tubs, insulated walls, hollow bricks for ceiling structure (lightweight), made concrete that cured underwater, etc... the list goes on and on.

Ok, it's official, Tyler did make it to Bath, nice self portrait Tyler...... where's Lindsay? Ohh, over a million litres (265k gal) of 47C (117 F) water emerges from this spring every day.
Random street in Bath, that's it

This is where all the famous people in England live at some point in their life, I don't know why, interesting architecture though, just have one guy standing in the center with a string to keep that perfect circular line?

This is the most famous teahouse in England, so Tyler couldn't resist, and then took a picture. That is called a bun in the center, no nothing like a Cindy's cinnamon rolls, but still good. The tea, it was also good, Tyler enjoyed it enough to drink tea for the next couple of days, then went back to the good life of coffee. Besides, tea stains your teeth.
An evening walk along the river, looking back at the city. Goodbye bath, till next time, gotta catch a train.
