Hi my dear readers, I know it has been a long time since I have posted and I am sorry. FYI, now people should be able to comment because my parents fixed the problem with commenting. Now I am in the wonderful grassland of Salerno.
But let’s rewind to October 31 (Halloween night). It was a dark and stormy night. Not really--it was the afternoon and pretty sunny, but that’s how all good stories start and this is a good one. So, it was a sunny afternoon one day when my parents suggested we go to Pompeii for Halloween. What isn’t scarier than lava murdering people? We all agreed that it would be fun to go, so we hopped on a train and went!
When we arrived in Pompeii, it was AWESOME!!!! The reason why it was so awesome is because we got to see one of my biggest interests right now: an ancient Roman gladiator arena! I also can’t wait until I can see the Colosseum but let's focus on this. At Pompeii we walked around and got to see all of the old buildings and architecture. It was pretty cool. When we were done with that we checked out the gift shop and explored the city.
That takes us to the night! I happened to have fake blood and scars on my face and that turned out well when all of the kids started to go into the businesses and came out with candy and snacks! My parents pushed me to go and trick or treat, so I did it and had a lot of fun. The day ended so we went back and slept.
As I mentioned earlier of how I am in the city of Salerno, which is a rough city despite the pictures on the internet. It is ok here. I am going to show you pics of a grassland which is actually our park. Also my new fastest Rubix cube solve is 48 seconds! I will post a video of me doing my solve in later posts.
Hey Sila! This is Abra's Dad--Chris. I loved reading your blog post. The Roman Empire (and all things related) rocks. If you are looking for a book to read some time, I would recommend "The Mediations" by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. He was interested in stoicism, a philosophy where wisdom, knowledge, and logic is worth pursuing. I've simplified a bit--but this is just a comment, so you probably don't want to read an essay! Hope you are well, and I'm looking forward to more blog posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for reading my blog and responding! I am so sorry that I could not respond to you sooner it was because we were traveling all day for the past week or so and I did not have time. Funny enough my parents recommended the same book that you do! I am looking to see if I could get it on my kindle. It sounds amazing too! Some books that I recommend are Circe and The Song of Achilles. Are you still into board games? If so could you recommend any? I am already into D&d and am looking into some other cool games! One is Top Trumps roman mythology edition which is like a war game and several other cool roman games like knuckles and bones. Thank you for writing me! FWI I posted and updated my blog. Hope to see you soon! -SilaG
