My journey began with a trip to the Post Office, where I opened the PO Box and took out a piece of paper. I hand over the piece of paper and in return get a package from Amazon. So exciting! I open it and discover another wrapped package and a message with a URL. Eagerly entering the URL in my tablet, I find a personalised message about the contents of the package.

Upon opening the package I find a book. In this book Julius Caesar (arguably the best known ancient leader) begins with the oft quoted phrase "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres...", Gaul is divided into three parts. The journey that spans what we think of now as France, Belgium and parts of Switzerland, where Julius Caesar talks about the 9 year Gallic War.

This is a very exciting present, as it is written in very straightforward Latin, and it should be good to hone my Latin.

Thanks alot Secret Santa. You Rock!
