An England’s Roman City

If you have opinion that London, or Manchester, or Liverpool is the most beautiful yet classical city in the United Kingdom, you are a one hundred percent wrong. Most people, especially those who love travel agree that the most beautiful, elegant and historical city of England is Bath. Bath, a town located 80 minute from London, on the northeaster side, is full of spectacular architecture and Georgian streets, and is actually classed as a World Heritage City.

As an old city with long history, Bath has been hosting visitors from throughout the continent since even before the ancient Romans started taking the waters there 2,000 years ago. Around two hundred years ago, the city, with Britain’s only hot spring, had become a full-fledged resort area for fashionable society and, in the early 1800s, a setting in Jane Austen’s novel. Bath, that built entirely of cream-colored limestone, glows with warmth and elegance. It’s a shoo-in for the Britain in Bloom competition –it just keeps winning.

In Bath, the best idea to start you day is starts with…the baths. Tours bring Roman artifacts to life: curses and prayers inscribed on pewter scrolls and flung into the mysterious waters, mosaic tiles depicting mythological gods.

What you can do is join a free walking tour departing from the Pump Room in the churchyard of Bath Abbey and wander past handsome houses on Georgian squares and terraces. Chatty guides shares history and titillating gossip from the 1800s.

Right after the tour, raise a pinky in the Pump Room as you enjoy tea and scones. This elegant Georgian hall, just above the Roman baths, trills with a string trio that performs daily. After that, just bring your lunch aboard an open-air bus for one of the city tours that also includes a spin through the countryside. Surely they pay their guides by the word here –this tour is packed with information.

In the afternoon, before the sun goes down, you can slip into something more comfortable—the Costume Museum. Follow the evolution of clothing styles decade-by-decade through four centuries of fashion, from the first Elizabeth in the 16^th century to the second Elizabeth today.

After a hearty dinner of pub grub, consider a Bizarre Bath walking tour, offered nightly Easter through September at eight o’clock. This strolling comedy show, which promises to contain “absolutely no history or culture,” is a joy. Then call it a day –a great day in Bath, England’s perpetually gracious host.

Costume and History in Highland Ecuador (Hardcover)

$118.25

The traditional costumes worn by people in the Andes–women`s woolen skirts, men`s ponchos, woven belts, and white felt hats–instantly identify them as natives of the region and serve as revealing markers of ethnicity, social class, gender, age, and so on. Because costume expresses so much, scholars study it to learn how the indigenous people of the Andes have identified themselves over time, as well as how others have identified and influenced them. Costume and History in Highland Ecuador assembles for the first time for any Andean country the evidence for indigenous costume from the entire chronological range of prehistory and history. The contributors glean a remarkable amount of information from pre-Hispanic ceramics and textile tools, archaeological textiles from the Inca empire in Peru, written accounts from the colonial period, nineteenth-century European-style pictorial representations, and twentieth-century textiles in museum collections. Their findings reveal that several garments introduced by the Incas, including men`s tunics and women`s wrapped dresses, shawls, and belts, had a remarkable longevity. They also demonstrate that the hybrid poncho from Chile and the rebozo from Mexico diffused in South America during the colonial period, and that the development of the rebozo in particular was more interesting and complex than has previously been suggested. The adoption of Spanish garments such as the pollera (skirt) and man`s shirt were also less straightforward and of more recent vintage than might be expected.
