Mithraism is just a lot of bull

Following our traditional English breakfast of fried gristle slathered with generous helpings of fat
First stop after brekkie
we make our way to our appointment to view the Mithraic temple which was only discovered after those nice Germans uncovered the site under a building during the blitz. For those without the benefit of a classical education, Mithraism was an ancient Roman cult involving stabbing bulls in necks while having one's testicles attacked by crabs-those wacky Romans! Anyway it was a fine exhibition deep in the bowels of the earth with evocative(whatever that means) sound and light accompaniment.




Walked back to apartment with some spectacular views.




Then it was off for lunch at the most appropriately named Quality Chop House



-following this bachanalia we collapsed into a deep sleep and then it was off to see a production of La Boheme at 50 seater theatre-apart from the necessity for some audience participation this was a delightful evening.



Strange phenomenon here is that people keep coming up to me asking directions; what is even stranger is that always seem to know the answers, or an answer!
