Day 5: All Aboard the Magic School Bus!

Salvete!

What a jam-packed day! The Latin Academy started the day off bright and early with a lesson in architecture by Magistra McIntire. Together we characterized the unique qualities of Roman public buildings and were given a chance to compare them to other styles of buildings, both older and more modern. We then ventured out to the Virginia State Capitol to see these architectural motifs with our own eyes. After a friendly tour led by some of the staff, we posed for a group picture in the rotunda in front of George Washington, or as we like to call him, Georgie Washie. 

Our lunchtime was spent exploring Maymont Park nearby, which housed both Japanese and Italian garden styles. There was ample time to walk around and see the enclosures of raptors, hawks, cows, and other animals. Our final stop before heading back to the dorms was at a small gelato shop owned and operated by a GLA alumn. We had the opportunity to peruse through some local businesses in the Randolph-Macon area before getting some much-needed rest before dinner. 

Finally, we ended our day off with our first session of nugae, convening in the MPR for a night of karaoke. We heard some great classics such as You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, and Africa by Toto (performed by the Africa province), as well as many Broadway hits. We rounded off the night with a riveting performance of the Greek alphabet song by our very own RA, Jack Purple, which we all joined in on. We can't wait for what our tribunes come up with for the next nugae!

Signing off until next time, your aediles,
​Ananya and Mercury :D
