In the spirit and tradition of the ancient Romans, the I, II, and III cohorts of the II century of the I legion De Piante are moving into the province of Hispania. In plain speak, that would mean that Alex, Andrew and I are traveling to Spain. Augustin remains in Rome to ensure the production of suppli and gelato (by consuming it). Philomena remains in Rome to keep the merchants busy. Mom remains in Rome to entertain foreigners at her villa in Acilii, and the pater familias, Dad, remains in Rome to oversee financial and domestic affairs.
We depart for Hispania a.d. XVII Kal. Iul. (June 15th) and return a.d. X Kal. Iul. (June 22nd). We will be staying in Matrice (Madrid) at the villa of some friends. From there we plan to capture (with our camera) Toletum (Toledo), Segovia (Segovia), El Escorial, Manzaneres, Vallis Tolitum (Valladolid) Caesaraugusta (Zaragoza) and Seville.
Hope y'all got all that :)
