Hadrians Wall and Vindolanda

Today began, as usual, with us waking up, getting dressed, etc. When we were finished with that we went down to breakfast. For breakfast we had: croissants, pineapple, cheese, mango, muffins, and ham. After breakfast we went down to the lounge and got ready to go. We then went outside, where we boarded a mini-bus that we rented, and began our journey towards Hadrian's Wall. Our first stop was Housesteads, a Roman fort along the wall, where Eli gave an excellent oral report. After leaving Housesteads, we hiked along the wall for a few minutes, took some pictures, walked back to the bus, and left. The next destination was Vindolanda, the Roman fort, where an excavation was currently in progress. Christianson did a wonderful oral report on the fort that educated everyone. We saw a more in depth view of Roman life in the accompaning museum along with the ancient fort. Our final destination was Birdoswald, where Christian gave his oral report on the Birdoswald Roman fort. Throughout our time on our mini-bus we got some great pictures of Hadrian's Wall. The weather has been great for all the days we have been here (not a drop of rain for the entire week). Once our time using the mini-bus was up, the driver drove us back to the shopping center near the B&Bs. We spent aout 15 minutes looking for a place to eat but most were not serving food at the time, so we had to settle for a place called Fats. The food there was terrible. The nachos were doritos covered in sweet and sour sauce. Once the food finaly came we were so hungry we almost didn't care what the food tasted like. After a tasteless meal, we headed home where we got some long needed rest.

Sincerely,
Eli, Gitaine, Conor, and Brennan
