One day, Svenya took us to an old Roman town that has some ruins.  She hadn’t been there since elementary school so it was even a little new for her.  It was pretty rainy when we arrived, but stuck it out anyway.  This first building is an old temple.

Here is a wall inside of the temple.

Then we decided to walk to the museum since it was inside and we could warm up a bit.  They had some fun things to try on.  First they had a saddle you could sit on and a shield to pick up.  Colin looked like a true warrior, but i was struggling just to pick up the shield!

Next, we came across some helmets sitting on a stand with a button to hear a story.  We probably pushed the button 6 times between the 3 of us, before a lady who worked their told us you had to put the helmet on to hear the story.  So Colin tried on the silver one.  Sure enough there were speakers inside where he could hear a story about the old Roman soldiers.  Since there was another helmet, i thought i’d try that one on.  Let me just say… the gold helmet was at least twice as heavy as the silver one.  I could barely keep my head straight!  Any slight movement on my part and the weight of the helmet would sway my head.  I had to keep my hand close to my head at all times just in case the helmet took over!  It was quite funny.

By the time we finished in the museum, it had stopped raining!  So we walked over to the old amphitheater or coliseum.
