Want to Take a Bath with the Romans?

May 28, 2010

    I spent the morning at Stonehenge. AT Stonehenge. How surreal is that? Standing there is so powerful, trying to grasp the magnitude of the sight is nearly impossible. We have been so fortunate. After this amazing encounter, we bused into Bath. Bath was created by the Romans, so the entire city (which is stunning) has Roman architecture and decor. An entire Roman bathhouse still stands, which is an impressively intact monument and one that is breath-taking in its splendor. Amazing that it is still there and the hot springs still surge through it. Just remarkable. We, once again, has tremendous weather and chose a cafe that allowed us to sun and eat simultaneously. Afterwards, we stumbled upon an amazing chocolatier and did some major damage in sweet consumption.
    We braved the long bus ride home (nearly 4 hours) and we're vying for dinner the second we got in. We took the tube into Notting Hill where we visited the Churchill Arms. The Churchill Arms has a pub in the front and an adjoining Thai Restaurant in the back. AMAZING thai food and great, great company at the pub. The bartender was hysterical, bringing us empty cups and lots of sass, and we happily sipped our cider while we waited for our phenomenal dinner. Such a great find, as it was bursting with people and obviously a trendy place. We've been so lucky with that!

Love you, Miss you xx
