Roman Daze


E, S, and T went to the Roman festival at Augusta Raurica ruins near Basel today. The weather looked iffy at the time of departure and L was too tired to face hours on the train, so she and I stayed home.  R also stayed in order to relax and get ready before her field trip, which involves a long train ride tomorrow.

 T earned his helmet. Thanks to a small language barrier issue he mistakenly lead a kids' simulated battle charge a bit early, surprising the men who had been waiting behind shields. Until the other kids decided to join in he was running and screaming alone across the field with his stick poised and ready to attack.  The crowd loved it, and T thought he must have done a good job.


S and T learn rock carving.
S and T ride a chariot. T plans new battle maneuvers.
