Made it to Bath--Missed the Jane Austin Festival!

IT was last month! Drats! BUt that's OK, I didn't like her.

From CVirtue:

1: Name a CD you own that no-one else on your friends list does, and describe it: Harp Celtica;
just bought it in a little cistercian church in borgogne region of france; harp tunes, that the harpist was playing in the church.

2: Name a book you own that no-one else on your friends list does, and describe it:
British Version of TPratchett's Going Postal, without stamp from Waterstones. Currently on walkabout.

3: Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that no-one else on your friends list does, and describe it:
My knighting. It's on VHS, and it's my knighting.

4: Name a place that you have visited that no-one else on your friends list has, and describe it:
Wow. How about Kitimat, BC? Granite rocks, swamps, and a deepwater port in a town of 7500 with housing for 10,000.

The baths are cool, taking the water is highly overrated (bleah!) I wasn't as excited by the costume museum. The old assembly halls are cool, just from a cultural perspective. The Guide Friday buses (which Cyn refers to above) are an excellent way to go (they've usually also got tix for some of the sights, and a pass good for discount on another bus tour in another town).

Definitely agree on drinking the special water. Clearly one of the "it tastes horrible, it must be good for you" things. Horse hockey!

Costume museum is, well, it's not SCA period, but it does have a lot of interesting things and a rightfully international reputation. But it's not something I'd say is a Must-See, hence the "consider" remark.
