Next stop.. the Scottish Highlands! Thanks to Zeric and Beth, we rented a car and followed the Bell's Volkswagon bus northbound. (Sadly, Nori the bus fell ill fairly early on and had to go home with David and the dogs. That was a huge bummer!) The first stop of our journey north was to revisit Hadrian. We found his forts and walls! (It was also a good place to wait for Beth and Siobhan to get the bus and the boys towed home, and to arrange a rental car for them for the rest of the trip.) What a great conversion with Jaffa and Eben, looking at the map to see how big Hadrians' empire was back in the day.
There were three amazing things about the site of the fort:
1. How well organized the space was.. they had great architects!
2. How much of it was left
3. How much of it was left given that people were allowed to climb all over it (and did)

Once we were clean, we headed back for Roman soldier lessons. (It's crazy all of the new skills we learned on vacation!)
