I just returned from Burning Man, and one of the most wonderful things there is a steam bath run by a guy named John. It may seem crazy at first, going to a hot dry dusty desert, then going inside an even hotter steam bath. However, it feels just perfect. So perfect, in fact, that I really want to build one of my own some day. Steaming is one of those age old traditions that should be brought back in a big way.
While at the bath, I met a professor of South Asian religions who had built his own steam bath. Here are the links to it on Flickr.
