this past monday at hannigans my team won a free trip to the arab baths!! even though we didn't place in the top three, this was the grab bag prize, and our team name got picked out of the box! so last night after some filling tapas the 5 of us headed over to the baños arabes, and it was amazing! it's basically just a big hot tub, but after a cold rainy day, a big hot tub was pretty awesome! after a little bit, the guy told us to quickly dip in the freezing cold pool, then we went in the steam room for a little. since they weren't kicking us out, we decided to head back into the hot tub for a while before we were served tea in the tea room. we had completely lost track of time, and when we finally left it was 11! (we had got there at 8:30) needless to say, our prize for not winning trivia was better than the first prize!
afterwards, we headed over to our teammates amazing apartment about 5 minutes away. we sat on their rooftop terrace with some wine and some snacks. tough life right?
Sounds like a rough life you are living! Maybe we can go to the baths

I'm finally catching up on your blogging! The first time I clicked on the link, my computer went nuts. It sounds like things are going really well. I'll definitely have to add the Arab Baths to my to-do list for next visit. Have some straciatella gelato for me!
