One day in July 2008, I went on a drive around England with Carmel, J-Zed, Sarang
and Claire. We stopped by Bath to check out
the old Roman ruins from the natural hot
springs (or bath).
On our way to Bath,
we passed through Swindon
and “The Magic Roundabout,” which is a center circle roundabout
surrounded by five smaller roundabouts. You have to go counter-clockwise
around the center one, and clockwise around the smaller ones. We tried to get
J-Zed to go around every single one on one go, but after almost getting into
two accidents in 4 seconds on our third try, we felt that we had sufficiently
experienced the magic.

Aha, entrance to the Roman Baths.

This is what Bath
used to look like according to an artist’s rendition.

Still steamy.

Hmm, the socialvibe.com pink ball strikes again…not sure how that
happened.
