On Friday I went to Bath for a class field trip. We had to pick from one of four places to go and since I had friends in Bath, I decided to go there. I went in early to see Terry and Annie, and we saw a red telephone booth and decided to take typical tourist photos:
After meeting up with them it was time for our tour of the Theatre Royal, Bath. This was actually the second Theatre Royal in Bath, built in 1805. We got to go around backstage and around the theatre getting some history of the building. The first picture is a view of the theatre from the stage and the second is of the chandelier hanging in the theatre, which used to hold around 1,000 candles, and now has about the same number of lights.
After touring the "new" Theatre Royal, we went to tour the Old Theatre Royal, which is now the Masonic Hall. It was built in the mid 18th-century and after the Theatre moved to the newer building, it became a Catholic Chapel, and subsequently a Masonic Hall.
As you can see from the first picture, the weather was very nice. And, a rarity, the weather was just about the same the next day in London. I go back to Bath next week for a bus trip with my program and tour the Roman Baths.Tonight, they are keeping the bar down at the medical campus open late for the Super Bowl, but I think I'll probably only stay out for the first half since I have a presentation due tomorrow.
