Roman Road...

The Romans built roads to connect their empire beginning 500BC. While visiting the south of Germany today, the kids, George and I walked along one of these ancient roads.

It may not look like much, but the path is stone with an exact width that is grooved by the wheels of ancient chariots. The road is long and marks the path from Italy to Augsburg, Germany (North and West of Munich) which was a trading city that used the waterways to facilitate transport.
I cannot say if George or Brian got more out of this experience. Both seemed to be tired by my efforts at education.
