The Roman baths were coincidentally the stinkiest place on our tour of England so far. This is because of the deep-earth gasses that bubble up and heat the pool. After 2000 years, I don’t think I’ll be having a dip in them any time soon… Jokes aside, I was astounded by the history of the …

#8 Pennies and Gravestones
Traveling by train from London to Bath, through fields of pastureland floating past, was a much-needed refresh after a busy week. In many ways, Bath feels like a smaller, softer London. There are fewer people, there’s more open space and greenery, and there are more ancient things, but the same blend of history and modernity …
The Beauty of Bath
June 4 Today I got to explore the city of Bath, home to the Roman-Baths it is hence named after. After walking to Euston Station, taking the Tube to Paddington Station, and catching a train taking us all the way to our destination, we finally made it. On first impression, Bath looks extremely different from …
Is the Town this Clean *Because* Its Called Bath?
This is a place which feels just the right size, with just the right amount of history. An important center, but not with the overwhelming sprawl, rubbish and overwhelming dining options of the London metropolis. Definitely more my speed if I was to be here long term. Roman Baths I had a great time working …

I avoid listening to music or watching recordings of any show, including the big ones like Hamilton, until I’ve seen them on stage. For me, this preserves the sanctity of the first viewing. On a few …

#7 Hair…So Much Hair
I had no idea what to expect from Legally Blonde: The Musical, and wow, it did not disappoint. Pretty sure my stomach will be hurting for a few days from laughing so much. Seeing the show outdoors, however, wasn’t exactly what I expected. Walking through Regent’s Park was an experience. Everywhere roses, everywhere sunlight, and people …
6/04 – London Day 12
Day 12 of London, hooray! Today was definitely a great one. Our group traveled to Bath to visit the Roman baths and we did some exploring around the rustic town itself, and it did not disappoint! To get to Bath, we all met up pretty early at 8 (well… it’s the earliest we have met …
Did y’all smell that too?
Today was our first day trip! I adore London, but I was really excited to get out of the city for the day and go somewhere that was not a gigantic city. Plus, I was excited to learn more about the Roman influences on Bath and England itself. To be honest, I had no clue …
Healing Waters and Revolutionary Literature
Bath, UK June 4th I had an early day as our group journeyed to Bath. The main event was the ancient Roman Baths that have been preserved. The baths were formed because a natural spring flows there. This mineral water reminded me of the scent of the geysers at Yellowstone that carried a sharp, sulfur …

Bath and Blunders Blog Post 7: Day trip to Bath By Isaac Overman June 4 2022 The Gang left bright and early this morning for Paddington Station. We arrived rather early and Tabi and I were able to snag a quick breakfast and coffee inside the station. Unfortunately, this is where my morning gets slightly …
