I hate colds =(
Nov. 2nd, 2010 01:46 pmGah! Noooo - I just got rid of my cold about a week ago ... and now I've caught one again -.-! It's my own fault I guess. I probably shouldn't have gone trudging through the mud in the cold on Sunday ... while only wearing a tank top and a jacket. But it was the last opening day of the archaeological park at Carnuntum and I'd promised a friend that we'd go. Back to coughing my lungs up and sneezing and feeling like I might suffocate in my sleep -.- (have I mentioned how much I hate this?).
The trip itself was really fun, though! Ever since the takeover they've begun rebuilding some of the Roman houses, so that some of the visitors who're not quite as gifted at imagining whole buildings with only the foundations to go by can actually get a sense of what the city would've looked like in Roman times. By now they've rebuilt one of the houses, a villa and are in the process of rebuilding the bath houses :D! They're trying really hard to only use Roman constructional engineering, too. Apparently they're even baking their own bricks using Roman methods! And it really does look gorgeous! I mean, just look at this for example: Great hall of the villa.
In other news, how awesome was Merlin on Saturday?! ( Cue Spoilers for Episode 8 )
Well, I'd better get back to bed now ... and continue reading that stuff about Chinese history ;(
