Weekend Vacation in Antiquity Bath

Greetings

History:
Bath, has for centuries been a place people traveled to and visited. The Romans, built baths over the natural hot springs, believed to cure the sick for their own health and religious beliefs. After the Roman withdrawal from Britain, the baths fell into disrepair.
Redeveloped in the 12th and 16th centuries, the final modifications came with the creation of the current 18th century buildings.
By the late 1700's , people were coming from all over to "take the waters" and to see doctors, but also to or be part of the huge social scene that grew up in the city . Being seen in the Pump Room or any of the cities other hot spots was a sign of ones social status & importance.

Role Play Idea:
The rp idea here is vacation. Immersion. Everything should be rp and in character including riding carriage or horse to and from Bath and your house or arrival point of the Central Station. Everyone who RSVP's will have accommodations provided to them for the weekend. Your room will be yours to return to for the duration of the roleplay.
The events are not mandatory. The idea is to spend time in character and have some fun with our friends. If you would rather sit in the hotel library instead of horse ride, that is fine . You may also walk around town or sit in the park .

Volunteers are welcome to help with any of the rp jobs
Hairdresser, Spa Attendant, Hotel Desk, Priest/Reverend, General Hosting - have another character you think will fit in , please let us know .

Coffee on Saturday will be hosted by our friends from Rocca Sorrentina

Tips:
Log in and out from in your room. Try to stay in character. Do not teleport in front of people or teleport people into the room. Be patient when waiting for replies. No modern talk, TV's or news.
Dont know what to talk about? Look up, Today in history, look for items from the week of Sept 19-26 in a year span of 1700 to 1850. We are not taking a test, just stuff that may interest you and stories to share.

Our weekend in Bath was lovely, and our guests added a good deal to the general enjoyment. I must apologize for missing the morning coffee hosted in the hotel garden by La Rocca Sorrentina although my friend the Marchioness of Hertford tells me that discussion was, as always, scintillating. Lady Hertford, of course, is quite pleased that she had His Royal Highness's arm through most of the ball, and that she has a most desirable new acquaintance, Song, the lady of Sir Mansur Marawi of the Larl Valley. The music of Maestro Horus Cedrus, of course, was an important part of the ball's success.

I am told that the equestrian community was invigorated by their forest ride, and that the spa afternoon at Bath's famous baths was delightful.

We may be inviting all of you back to Bath on the evening of Oct. 27th and day of Oct. 28th, when Hallowe'en events (not quite part of Bath's RL history, but a good deal of fun) are being planned. Children in particular are encouraged to come for trick-and-treating, but adults will also find much to enjoy.

The weekend in Bath was a rousing success. My hearty congratulations to HRH Jacon Cortes and the staff of the Francis Hotel, Pump Room, and Stables for a most delightful holiday. Lady Song and I expanded our acquaintance most pleasurably whilst relaxing in a charming foreign locale. We intend to continue improving and perfecting that growing intimacy with foreign friends by way of frequent visits.

While in Bath, I enjoyed several scenic carriage rides. I received a spa treatment from a princess. I partook in an excellent assortment of tobacco. I even learned a new card game! It was almost drudgery to return home to my palace and private baths.
