Ever seen a tub like this?



I hadn't until this residency. At first glance it seems like it would be perfect for sitting and soaking. The flaw is the height of the spigot, which prevents the water level from rising above your waist. Hence the necessity to head over to take the waters that made Saratoga famous in the first place. Once you get over its rust-yellow color, it's kind of nice.
