Salvete! Today we took a field trip to Virginia's Capitol building in Richmond and learned about the history of the building. We also learned that Thomas Jefferson was greatly inspired by Ancient Roman architecture, which was the style he used when designing the Capitol building in Richmond. Then we travelled to Maymont mansion and explored the gardens after eating wonderful sandwiches from Baker's Crust, kindly paid for by the Academy. It was a busy day: while playing, Ben G. and our RA Rob scraped their fingers, but are okay, thankfully. Later, the Academy also treated us to delicious gelato at DeLuca Gelato, run by a former Latin teacher and Latin Academy alumnus! Progress of the play is underway, and we will begin planning for our in-Academy marketplace tonight. Thank you!
