GUTTA CAVAT LAPIDEM

4th of July

Salvete omnes,

Wishing you a happy 4th of July from all of us here at GLA. Today, we celebrated in our own way, starting with a traditional Roman breakfast of meat, cheese, bread and fruit. 

Following that filling Mediterranean breakfast, we went into our Ludi Apollinares. It started with games like sharks and minnows, and a relay race.

After our outdoor games we proceeded inside for some impromptu art and trivia.

After some lunch and a chance to shower we attended our one chance elective classes! These consisted of a range of topics from provincial identities to a coin reading class.

Finally, we ended the day off with a movie thoughtfully explained by Magister Gallagher. Hope that you all's day was as eventful and enjoyable as ours. Please enjoy the picture dump from the last few days' activities.

Valete,
hannaH and hannaH
