Roman ruins

We saw two roman city ruins (corbridge ruins and chester's roman fort- the latter had a bath house which was mostly flooded because of all the rain recently) in the last few days. Both protected the northern border of hadrian's wall (the bits of which you can still see where they uncovered them- the bases of the roman towns and the wall were all that was left after the local farmers dismantled the smooth square buildings to make farm houses that they could live in). The romans built the wall to keep out the Scottish barbarians from invading even though they just broke down the walls and invaded tons of times anyway. You were allowed to climb on the ruins as well, and Tobin was small enough to fit in the drain system which was still intact, so he'd keep popping up out of holes in the ground.
