Postcard from Ancient Rome:
Dear Mater and Fater,
I just arrived to grandmas house a few days ago! I've been meaning to write sooner but It's been so crazy fun that I haven't had much time! Rome is AMAZING!!!! When I first arrived here on my horse, grandma gave ma a very warm welcoming by taking me to the amphitheater! we sat higher up but it still was great! When we walked in, there were gladiators fighting each other. Yikes! it looked painful. After the gladiators, criminals came out. I had no idea what was going to happen until these people brought out suits of animal skin and meat to put on these criminals. Then they brought out tigers and bears to maul at the people in the meat suits! The whole crowd was cheering but I covered my eyes for most of it. It smelled really bad after that too.
When the show was over, grandma took me out to dinner at The Shining Knights Cafe in the forum.They gave me ink to draw on the table while we waited for our food. I ordered chicken soup and grandma had goose legs. They were very tasty! The restaraunt had a harpist playing lovely music for us. It was quite crowded from all the people that came from the amphitheater like we did! After dinner, I ordered sugared octopus. It was the best thing i have ever tasted! I was stuffed! Then we went home and got a great nights rest!
When we woke up bright and early, cousin Tanya and I went to explore the forum to see what we could do! we saw a bath house and knew that was what we wanted to do! We went back home, got our bathing suits and walked back to the bath house. We met a bunch of new friends! First went in the hot tub. Man oh man was it hot.After I was getting all pruned up, we went to the normal tempature pool to sit and chat with our new friends. It was super cool in there! Tonya and I went home, got dried off and just relaxed the rest of the day.
The next day we walked to the theater. The roads we walked on were amazing! Nothing like the ones at home thats for sure! They had Beautiful high curbs and wide new sidewalks. There were no bumps in the road either! It had many lanes so there was no traffic for the horses. When we arrived at the theater, it was quite crowded. Me and grandma finally found seats but they were kind of far away. The play was great! It was about two men stuck in the woods trying to find their way out when they met all these animals. It was super sad but I really did enjoy it! The theater was kind of old but it was still in good shape. It took forever to get out of there because everyone was trying to pile out at the same time.
That's all I have done so far at grandmas house but i'm sure we'll do more! I miss you! see you next week!
Sincerely,
