I loved meeting Julius Ceasar he was so cool!! I saw a gladitorial fight in which I made a bet and actually won! Everything looked really nice the buildings were first class I might even say they were better than our modern day biuldings. The only bad thing that I had is the side effects of the time traveling machine.

Everything was exactly as I imagined and even more I had a history project on Greece and the trip made it sooo easy to learn. ( I like it better than history books). The temples were awesome I saw them sacrifice some animals since I came there on a holiday. If I could I would live there but then i would change time too much.I can't live without my phone :)
