The radio show went really well this morning thanks to Skype and my Macbook calling the radio station. The sound was crisp and clear and we took many calls from the listeners. I hope to do another broadcast while I am away.
In 140 AD the Roman Empire set up a city in England which is now called St Albans. One of the first things they did was build a theatre.
Well after many years the Roman empire fell and the city was abandoned. England took it back and decided to build a cathedral, St Albans. They took the stone from the theatre and moved it up the hill to build a Cathedral.
In 1938 archaeologists uncovered what was left of the original theatre and here is what it looks like today:
Notice one of the arches is still standing.
For 2 pounds, you can walk around the ruins and see what it was like in 140 AD at the theatre. It is trul moving to know that shows were performed here. Of course so were public floggings and torture.
Wendy's bunny visited this area also.
St Albens Cathedral is straight out of the DaVinci Code with it's beautiful ceilings and architecture along with it's beautiful rose window.
After that we went to a restaurant/pub with a working mill with a water wheel for sausage sandwiches and such. VERY sleepy from the jet lag. I'm off to Virgin Rail for a trip up north. till then...
