Tumuli near Landen

[nwhyte]

I decided to try B on something a bit different on our Sunday outing today; just the other side of where she lives is a significant concentration of Gallo-Roman tumuli, and I thought it would be nice to see if I could explore them with her, armed with the GPS coordinates from Francophone Wikipedia.

What a coincidence, we visited the Gallo-Roman village on the Archéosite d'Aubechies (near Doornik) today!

Looks like fun!
Have you ever taken B horseback riding?
Tangentially, http://www.amazon.com/Horse-Boy-Fathers-Quest-Heal/dp/0316008230 is on my shelf if you'd like it. Is crazy bizarre in spots but still interesting. I'm sure you've read worse. :)

B does indeed go horseback riding from time to time, and loves it. Both she and her sister get a kick out of stimulation of the proprioceptive sense, the feeling of where your body parts are in relation to each other, and riding in a vehicle or on a horse is great from that point of view.

Surprised riding in a vehicle works, but glad! Getting cold out.
