2 days in one!

Hi all
Yesterday was a big day and today was trailer duties and recuperate day.
Still not 100% back after nasty colds, close, but not there yet.

Saturday morning we did our Valentine gift early (we won't be here then).
Buckstaff Bathhouse to "Take the Waters".
Started out with a 100+ degree mineral water bath with whirlpool and sipping mineral water.
20 minutes later on to a Sitz Bath for 10 minutes, in hot mineral water, of course.
Then relaxing on a table with hot towel packs "where it hurts" until they cooled.
Then a steam box, or "taking the vapors" from the hot mineral water, for only 2-3 minutes.
And remember that "torture" device photo from my last post, well it was wonderful.
A needle shower from all directions, we should all have one.
And the finale was a Swedish massage. Then a 10 minute hand wax.
2 hours later we were ready for the day.
Would be wonderful to do that to start every day. Need to win lottery first.

After all that and a bit of a walk around on Bathhouse Row, we went back to the BWB.
Light lunch and a nap.
In the afternoon we drove up to Garvan Woodlands Garden to see the Anthony Chapel.

Great idea, but not on Saturday, it was booked for a wedding and apparently then didn't think we were on the guest list. Could still see the exterior and surrounding woodland area.

We may go back if time allows.


By now we were hungry again so headed for the Ohio Club.
Claim is Al Capone had this as one of his favorite hangouts, Millie liked it too.

Great food and drink. Although I suspect different than Big Al had.

After dinner, Millie had to stop and thank Big Al.

Walked Bathhouse Row

and found one of the few open springs for a photo.

Stopped at Buckstaff for a photo of the lighted exterior.

Home and to bed.

Today started out with renewing for a few more days here, trailer duties, and breakfast.
After that it wasn't long til lunch, nap and relaxing on a cool misty day.
Nice walk with the fur kids, supper and a couple hours of the Olympics.

Tomorrow we will find something to do.
Make your day great.
Tom and Millie
