Field Trip

Ostia was wicked cool. Prof. George gave us an introduction to everything and then we all went exploring for ourselves. Scott, Zach, Dustin, Mary, Chris and I found some cave-ish things. We went looking for an underground chamber which was used in a mystery religion in ancient Ostia. We found it and it was really cool because there was a big statue of some guy (Mithras) about to slaughter a cow (bull). We also went “spelunking” also known as cave exploring because we found a back entrance into some underground complex. Some people took funny pictures at the latrines and on top of a little marble column. It was very hot out and I got sunburned on my shoulders. After Ostia some went to Rome but everyone ended up back at the hotel.
