Roman Ruins!

On Wednesday October 8, 2008 the Palmgarten dorm staff went to visit the Augusta Raurica Roman ruins. They are just 10 minutes outside of Basel, Switzerland.

August, Switzerland is where the Romans claimed this land for themselves. They built the entire town...Roman style. So there is an amphitheater. Here you will see myself, Elva Porter (dorm Mom), Lizzy Schulz (RA), Ellie Wiebe (RA).


This is the amphitheater now...and what is looked like originally.


Elva and I are enjoying are quaint view of the amphitheater. We are such bad kids to be climbing in the windows! Opps!


This is Les Porter the dorm Dad. As you can see, you don't want to mess with him. And yes, if any guys at BFA want to take one of the Palm girls out they have to ask Papa Les for permission. So, needless to say there are a few intimidated guys at the school!


The Romans loved their games and we loved it as well!


Would you want these people to take care of your children?

All in all we had a lovely time enjoying the past. We ended the adventure at the Fumph Shilling, a nice German restaurant. The pumpkin soup was wonderful! Germany is pretty amazing in the fall!
